Re: [ptp-dev] Updated PTP Wiki to add current PE resource manager info

["Albert L. Rossi" <arossi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before I head out of town this morning, I just wanted to ask the following:  aside from allowing for groupings in the configuration, then, we should also allow for tabs such as the ones in PE/LL.  That way we can provide for the kind of exposure/non-exposure of advanced features as these have.  In PBS I allowed the user to customize which attributes were displayed as well, and this is something which can still be done, but probably belongs to the runtime configuration rather than the type configuration that Greg and I have been discussing.
