vtkSpaceCraftInfo filter beginings.  This filter will be gathering data from CDAWEB and providing it via a vtkTable inside of Paraview.  This skeleton is currently fully functional, but does not do anything.
vtkSpaceCraftInfoFilter: started working up the ability to add the required information to outputvector.  Currently only a dummy time value is positioned, but the framework will allow me to add all data to the the table.  Would it be better to put all the information in all time steps? Or to just put the relevent information in each time step.  Food for thought.
vtkSpaceCraftInfo filter: added dummy space craft selection list to Properties Pannel
vtkSpaceCraftInfo filter: working on network communications.  Have set up to read the list of observatories from CDAWeb, but have not set up the XML parsing yet.  That is next
vtkSpaceCraftInfo filter: Working on parsing XML. Please note that the way this works will be changing.  I am just getting a feel for the xml parser at the moment.
vtkSpaceCraftInfo: Working on generalilizing the XML parsing for the filter so I can use the same routines through all aspects of the filter.
moving to work
vtkSpaceCraftInfo filter: Still working on the XML parsing. It is parsing, but I need to fix it so it actually parses into a tree, not the long list that it is parsing into now.  That should not be too much trouble, but I need to do it.
vtkSpaceCraftInfo filter: Finally have an xml parsing algorithm that seems to be working... the new algorithm is stack based, eliminating the non-working recursive parser I was trying to make work.
vtkSpaceCraftInfo filter: OK, so I have the XML parsing working, but apparently my network management is completely non-blocking... I am not sure at this point how to enforce order of operations...  I need to find a way to handle the network that is blocking, not utilizing the QT Signal/Slot mechanism... anyway, I have a mailing list question in on how might be the best way to handle this.
moving to another computer
vtkSpaceCraftInfo filter: phew... we finally have a list of data sources for the filter.  Now I have to process the selection, send a request to CDAweb, and display a second window that gives available datasets...  I am not yet sure how I am going to handle having multiple data sources selected... if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. :)
