+
* Status
−
# Resource Managers
+
** Synchronized Projects:
−
#* separate Generic from specific? generic RMs will be put in Core; contributed RMs will be a separate feature, or could remove this feature. Put in EPP, make part of Juno Repo.  Make the system-specific RMs removable so the list is not so long. We have about 20 RMs now.

−
#**** PPW - Beth will contact Max Billingsley (original PPW author, moved on to new job) and if nobody is testing PPW we should remove it.
+
*** Jay will look into NCSA machine and security issues for testing

+
* Video software for capturing demo movies?
−
#*** Must specify which type of launch: preference or individual; defaults to new launch type; can change to legacy launch type - enables old legacy RMs.  Link at bottom of launch dialog allows switch to legacy launch type.
