Coding is underway

I think we had a great meeting at Michigan. Tom and I are going to begin working on the portal website immediately. While everything is subject to change at this point we have decide to go ahead and write the web stuff using ruby on rails. We may use bits and pieces, so there will probably be Perl and Java code floating around in there too but at the moment we are sold on the sirens' song of agile development. The honeymoon is far from over.
