Short protocol:

- the high level group has discussed the different existing models
- we need to define the next steps

1) Demonstrator

Homag starts posting a part list proposal on ag-automation, for further
discussion. ETA: Really Soon Now (TM). The demonstrator will probably be
hosted in the PTX remotelab, with ssh accessability. Typical devices:
dump I/O, motion, x86, powerpc, arm.

2) High Level API

3S posts it's proposal for the high level API model, mostly to have a
start of discussion. ETA: 2007-03-15 (Hess).

3) High Level Model

It seems to be common agreement that the high level view is something
like Process Variable objects (value, name, min, max, unit, ...), plus a
grouping element ("this group of PVs belongs together"), plus events
("sleep and wakeup if something has happened"). N.N. might want to draw
nice UML pictures out of this :-)

Anything else I've forgotten?
