Re: [Condor-users] any submit file generators

["Jason Stowe" <jstowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ryan,
This exact feature, a customizable form-based, or plug-in framework
for users to specify their own submission generators, is in our next
release of CycleServer. This sounds like a good fit for your use case.
I'd love to talk with you about this so we can make sure we meet your
requirements. I'll e-mail you personally to follow up.

Best,
Jason
