sounds good - but I'd add, - has an auth mechanism that can be tuned This would allow you to start off with it being tuned "pretty much wide open, for all Core Contribs", and, after some time (6 mo?) if/when/as experience shows a resource scheduling bottleneck, retune it to be a bit more selective/restrictive/ limiting. IMO, there is such a high cost of entry to use the farm that it will only be used by serious OS.o developers, even though there may be many initial window shoppers who don't do more than kick the tyres once or twice... -John
