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

I think the TabFolder approach used
in PE and LL is needed since there's so many values to set. I chose to
do that rather than a single scrollable list to try to make it easier for
users to find an option.

If my understanding of the proposed
approach is correct, then I'm thinking there's a configuration file that
contains all of the information I currently get from the attribute definitions
sent by the proxy. With the configuration file approach, I'd think the
definition for each environment variable could contain the additional info
like displayable widget type, a group name which specifies the tab where
the widget appears and the specification of which OS and LoadLeveler/non
LoadLeveler permutation the environment variable use was valid. The user
could modify this file as they chose to control what appeared and on what
tab.

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.
