You should be able to run parts of the pipeline from within Kepler -- 
its linked as a demo on the startup page.  This shows some layer 
presampling, the main GARP algorithm and the prediction being generated, 
as well as the resulting image being converted to another format and 
displayed.  It needs lots of work.  All of the pre-processing stuff is 
missing, and the image handling at the end really needs to be more 
flexible and effective (like displaying a thumbnail instead of the real 
image).

Chad worked on some of the GIS preprocessing actors and implemented them 
as GRASS web services that can be called from within Kepler.  My 
impression was that he had clipping, gridding, and reprojection all 
working, but I'm not sure of that.  I would prefer if there were able to 
be run locally as well as remotely, but at this point I'll take whatever 
we can get.

Both Chad and Dan are on vacation now, so they're not really going to be 
available for comment for a while yet.
