R: Announcement about Workflow future plans

[Pepi Fabbiano]

Dear Peppe and Andre',

There is a considerable experience in workflows (we call them pipelines) 
at the CXC, although we realize that  the model will have to change 
somewhat to adapt to the increasing data rates. It would be good to 
include Janet Evans and Ian Evans in the debate. I'll cc them.

Cheers. -pepi
