[Discussion][Workflow] What do you use to write and upload to your capsules?

[Jonathan McHugh]

Dear panda-roux,

Thanks for an interesting project. Its interesting to see database approaches for that type of workflow.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason why LuaXML_lib.so is provided compiled? Is there any possibility of releasing the C code for completeness?

Thanks,
