I don't think the quote below is from me. Maybe I replied and quoted it. 

The different GUI per application is a common request here too. 

My heroes blog series does not imply any order of merit. It's just the order I wrote them in.

So from my perspective, if something like Condor wants to reach out to a modern research community, an interface or web-portal is necessary. Are there any plans in that direction?

Personally, I think you have a great point. We tried to implement something similar in Bosco, which is in essence a simpler to use Condor for 80% of Joe user cases. Derek Weitzel even did a prototype native Mac Install for Bosco  http://derekweitzel.blogspot.com/2013/07/creating-native-mac-installer-for-bosco.html .  

What we discovered was that different use cases (for example R stats package users) want different GUI.

You did a lot of work on Condor Web Portals. What are your thoughts today? Looking at <http://www.software.ac.uk/heroes-software-engineering> I see HTCondor and Miron Livny  ranked #5, so what is we must do to move up ?

Hi Ian,

Thank you so much for the blog kudos!  Very appreciated.

best regards,
Todd

p.s. I forwarded the URL to your DropAndCompute Dropbox-style submit interface into HTCondor to several folks here at UW-Madison...

In my spare time, I do a blog series for the Software Sustainability
Institute. It is called "Heroes of software engineering", and my heroes of
today's blog are the HTCondor developers.
