[skoll] GME

[Balachandran Natarajan]

Don-

	I was just discussing with Arvind about this. Here are some
questions  that we thought are relevant in this context

1. Are users of GME from ESCHER going to develop GME by say adding 
   extra modules?

2. Are users of GME from ESCHER going to develop metamodels using GME?

3. Will the users of ESCHER also download some metamodels that are part
   of the repository and use it to develop applications?

4. Repeat question 3 for interpreters.

Looks like the test cases for the above three would be totally 
orthogonal to each other. You may want to pick and decide based on what
the ESHCER is supposed to be housing. The problem gets complicated since
GME AFAWK is not scriptable.  Just our $0.02.

Thanks
Bala
