ADASS discussions

[Wil O'Mullane]

At JHU most of our stuff is .NET/C#/ SqlServer.
Geroges is doing some stuff with Condor and I think GLobus.
I do some things with Apache/AXIS and Resin (mainly for demos) and
to check compatability with .NET


The SkyNode doc is in pretty good shape and is a WebService document.
But in general yes we need to discuss what basic standards we need -
the only call I have put in is that any VO site should have a 
MetaData service which returns an approporiate VOResource describing 
the service/s available (i.e. inaddition and differnt to WSDL).
