Hi guys, So I gave my first YT tutorial using the RAFT today. I ran the RAFT on Triton and accessed it locally; everything "just worked" and we were very productive. There are some issues that still need to be investigated and examined, which I am including here. I'd appreciate it if anyone who has used this could contribute their thoughts. * Currently, not all the widgets for interaction inside the raft do not work with just Raft. They have some deeper Sage dependencies. I've spoken with people at the Sage project, and they are going to be working on rewriting the notebook engine at the end of this month, which will fix this issue. * Printing PDFs of the notebook lets images jut off the edge of the page, which ends up cropping them. * MPI jobs can't currently be dispatched. It's not clear to me, but I personally believe this can be overcome and that we will be able to launch parallel processes from within the RAFT. Launching them from a queuing system might not be possible, but on a single machine I think it'll be possible. * Currently everything is stored in ~/.spd, but I'd like to change that to ~/.raft. * Distributing worksheets and converting down to Python code is a bit sticky at the moment, but I'm going to investigate ways to make this easier. * I've asked around a bit about uploading worksheets to a repo and then downloading them remotely. If this requires little to no effort to set up on the server end -- i.e., turnkey solution -- I'll write up something to upload from the notebook interface. (If such a thing doesn't already exist, and it might!) Does anyone else have anything to offer? Other issues or sticky bits that I have overlooked? As far as releases go, updating the spkgs and builds is pretty easy -- I am wondering if maybe we should just aim for a monthly release schedule for RAFT, rather than version numbers. We now have builds at http://raft.enzotools.org/files/ for the following systems: kraken osx ranger rhel4-x86_64 triton ubuntu32 Thoughts, anyone? -Matt
