Re: [thredds] nco as a web service

Jeff,

Thi is a terrific idea.  One suggestion I have is to build it so the
processing services can be set up in a brokering layer -- that is, so the
input datasets can be accessed via web services and the output can be
served via web services.  I don't  mean that this should be the only way to
implement the nco processing, rather just keep it in mind so it's
relatively easy to set up such a three tier architecture for the nco
processing.

Thanks for considering it.
