[kepler-dev] [kepler-users] question about kepler

[Tristan King]

Hi Dawid,
Hydrant was developed with python purely for prototyping reasons. It would
be maybe 2 weeks work to translate all the python backend code into java,
and I would be happy to collaborate with you to do this. The only problem
would be the interface. You would have to write a new one using your java
web-framework of choice.

However, I don't plan to build any more on top of Hydrant in it's current
state. What I want to do is separate the backend execution out from Hydrant
and have it run as it's own service. This service could then be accessed
using some form of web services (i.e. SOAP) by Hydrant or any other
front-end portal. I hope to get the community involved in building something
like this, as there seems to be a lot of people interested in it, and there
has already been a lot of work done in separate instances towards such
technology, it would be great if we can work together to build something
that everyone can use rather then a whole number of different solutions.
Unfortunately there has not been a lot of response to my initial attempts to
get such a project going, and i've since been distracted working on the
other various things i want to see put into ptolemy/kepler.

I will try and get back onto this next week and perhaps get some
requirements and such up on the wiki.

Cheers
-Tristan
