Re: [Condor-users] Condor Web interface

[Ian Cottam <ian.cottam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have said for the last 4 or 5 years that the Condor team should stop 
introducing new features and just make it easier for users to use, debug 
failed jobs, etc.
(I expect funding bodies don't pay for ease-of-use work.)


By the way, Condor is wonderful, so don't misunderstand me.
