+1. Create a CLI interface for distren
+	command: distren
+	args: -i infile.tar.bz2 -o outfile.tar.bz2
+	action: submits and blocks and retreives result of rendering the contents of infile.tar.bz2. Should currently just call stub functions.
+	
+2. Design of stubs in distren CLI:
+	Stub for submitting file to a server
+	Stub for waiting for server
+
+3. Design of stubs in distrend:
+	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)
+	Stub for unpacking file
+	Stub for calling subsystem's action that does the rendering
+	Stub for submission of new jobs to be distributed (a subsystem rendering a file with multiples frames should generate a subjob for each frame)
+	Stub for publishing file and constructing job description so that the job can be shared
