Re: [Condor-users] any submit file generators

[Ryan Lewis <me@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do the same thing, but the idea here is let them get an account and  
be on there own until they ask for help.

I don't understand why there isn't a a pre-existing project (maybe on  
sourceforge) for such a file generator.... Maybe we could start one?  
It seems like the basics have been covered by simple web forms, I  
think a proper AJAX based system could be constructed with the help of  
others...
