GNU Queue load balancing and batch processing system TODO list.

Here is a list of things to do, in no especial order.

If you have suggestions, write to <wkrebs@gnu.org>

Up-to-the-minute development information is linked from GNU Queue's
Homepage, http://www.gnu.org/software/queue .

1. Improve MPI and add PVM hooks.

2. Eliminate need for no_root_squash (GNU/Linux) when the server is running
   under root privilege, perhaps by sending
   the binary process info files to the server via TCP/IP
   rather than using the file system to communicate the info.

3. Add hooks for a secure socket library. (Note that, due to U.S. ITAR
   restrictions, the library chosen must be available from 
   outside the United States, since ITAR restrictions may prohibit
   export of a secure socket library outside of the U.S.)

4. Hooks for AFS and/or Kerberos.

5. More sophisticated load-balancing scheme to deal with very large networks.

6. Improve documentation
