I am about to start a SourceForge project for the further development of 
the Condor DRMAA library. There are already some contributors, so 
everybody please contact me directly if you want to join.

At the DRMAA working group, we have some test code available for 
internal use. I will check whether or not your compilation works.

Erik, do you see any problem with storing and extending the sources in a 
SourceForge CVS repository ? From my understanding of the Condor license 
text, this should not be a problem:

"Installation, use, reproduction, display, modification and 
redistribution of this Software, with or without modification, in source 
and binary forms, are permitted."

"Redistributions of this Software, with or without modification, must 
reproduce this Condor Public License..."

So as long as I reproduce the Condor Public license, it is fine ?

Regards,
Peter.
