[Ncep.list.nems.announce] Planned commit to NEMS trunk (ticket #41 NUOPC/OCN)

[Gerhard Theurich]

Hi again,

Just to clarify, under (1) I mean that a coupling infrastructure based 
on NUOPC Connectors was implemented between ATM and OCN. I didn't mean 
to say that everything is hooked up and the system is running in a 
meaningful coupled mode yet... although what I wrote under (1) below 
have had that ring to it.

If there are no issues from anybody with the proposed changes then I 
would like to commit some time tomorrow evening. My hope is to have 
these changes in by Friday. Thanks,

-Gerhard
