The most challenging and important tasks are marked with an "*", some items marked with initials to show who needs to fix them.
Master
*-Add calls to remotio
-Write more meat into the pseudo-code main() to pull everything together
-Write a stub for getting info from the tarball/validifying the tarball. Read distren-job.xml, a file in the tarball, to find out 1. which rendering system to use (that system, e.g. blender/povray, can read more specifics, such as name of file to pass to blender and frames. Options common between different systems will be handled in common as best as possible)
-Write a stub for publishing file and constructing job description so that the job can be shared
*-Other XML-writing/reading
M-frame_finder() needs to return both the job number and the frame number
Slave
-Fix current bugs
-Add conf-file editing code where commented in register_user()
*-Add calls to remoteio, once it works or even before it works
*-Figure out how to get output back to the server!
-Add code to write arguments for exec_blender based on the contents of a job's xml file
*-Other XML-writing/reading
Options
-Rewrite some stuff, try to make it simpler
-Move server and client confuse code into their individual files, rather than in the common file.
