   * https-put
   * https-get

---++ Implementers of VOSpace on top of SRB.

With a view to collaborate and/or adopt another implementation.

   * Andre Schaaff - working with French high energy physics.
   * CCLRC - Adil Hasan
   * SDSC - themselves
   * Richard Wagner - UCSD


--++Action Items

   1. look for inspiration from the HTTP Headers & Dublin core. - publish a list - 31-Oct
   2. Mail all the people planning to implement a VOSpace on SRB.
