[LDM #YXG-369372]: FW: LDM Support and Future Enhancements

Joel,

> It has been a while so I hope you remember our conversation....

Indeed I do.

> I have been

DCP?   Digital Cinema Package?  Disney Consumer Products?  Device Control
Protocol?  :-)

Sure.  I often work from home, so the call would have to be planned.  Also,
my supervisor, Tom Yoksas, would probably want in.

Got any times in mind?

Those are all very good ideas and, indeed, are part of the goals for
the next-generation LDM.  You should look at 
<https://wiki.ucar.edu/display/unidata/Next-Generation+LDM>, particularly
the "Decisions" link.
