OK. Great. This sounds do-able. Is there any interest in trying to get the SemiVivA/VivA distros preconfigured? I think it would greatly help new users.
We could write a short application that changes the few machine-specific database entries. I would really like to get this done by the end of the Boston conference? Is anyone willing to sit down with me then to achieve this? For a basic config, I would like to see generic names put in for institution etc. And also VPE. Perhaps Bhaskar could then help us wrap the files up into a distribution. Anyone willing to help? Or is such a project off target?
