Yes, that was also my thought. Integrating both concepts would be nice.
Nevertheless I do not insist on the name IGridApplication :)

What method and functionality do you plan to have for IGridApplications?

This is something that has to be handled by the underlying info service.
I personally do not care of the applications are fetched from GLUE or
from a XML, this is the info service's responsibility.

I am not sure about this. Jie said there is a possibility to deinstall
applications on gLite. Maybe Jie can comment here.

Yepp, also thought about your solution 2. Would be nice to have a
"create job description".

Can of course been discussed. I think as soon as the actions are
available we will decide who is able to access them. Nevertheless the
deinstall action will fail for a non-sgm user on gLite.

I hope you meant the Developer Perspective ;-) We can discuss both, but
it is definitely also developer related. Nevertheless these are
implementations details we can also discuss at a later point.

Thanks for the comments Pawel!
