[Octopus-devel] Graphical User Interface for Octopus

[Angel Rubio Secades-]

Dear All,
i think it is a good idea to have a short discussion on how to proceed 
with the graphical interface and have it as operative as possible for the 
Benasque school where we can test it with the students and get the 
necessary feedback.
I don't know if today is too early to make the irc meeting, i would 
suggest either tomorrow or friday (let's wait for Miguel schedule).
Cheers and wellcome to Axel
Angel
