> willmarpo: 1. Soapui is included, needs some fine tunning.

> really good. Needs to be improved.
> willmarpo: 3. Monitor: Does that mean to create an SNMP client and

> frankcohen2000: For the monitor, this is a Mac OS X and Linux  
> compatible monitor that uses the existing design, ie - not the snmp

> <logs> Needs more definition. WE are only logging the transactions.
> <notifications> To be done
> frankcohen2000: for the logs, transaction logging is fine for 5.0

> willmarpo: 6. controller: pause, stop: All the changes are done,  
> need to check if it is functional.

> willmarpo: 7. New Logger: Need clarification on this... is this a  
> new log4j like logger we need to create? To be used in jython or java?
> frankcohen2000: it's an addition to the simplelogger in tool.  
> remember the fastsoa kit, we had some results recorded after the  
> test case ended. this is a new logger that ignores transactions  
> after the test cases ends.

> willmarpo: 8. Finally, isntaller: I have an isntaller to install tm  
> and tn, but still need to figure out firefox, the tg4w pluging and  
> the jre 6 install.
> Also, I found out that the JRE cannot be easily embedded, since it  
> is a different download for each platform. That means that we wuold  
> need to create several testmaker distributions, one per each target  
> platforms...
