That being said, I of course like the idea of distributing processing across multiple images. No wonder, my PhD tool (Marea) and related sub-projects (Fuel, Ghost proxies, etc) have something to do with the mentioned topic. Dave already mentioned about RemoteTask, which was something I was about to mention. There is also Seamless project (now used by Remote Debugger stuff) and quite other tools. Finally, I think this project may have a big percentage that could be considered as "research". So having a PhD / master student working on this would also be nice. In fact, maybe��Denis Kudriashov��might work on that topic??? (he is now in RMOD team).
