[gollem] scaling gollem for use by 1000's of users?

[kevin mcgowan]

We're planning to do pretty much exactly this at umich but with AFS as 
the backend.  We have it rolled out now to a small portion of campus 
(maybe 40,000 possible users out of an eventual pool of >150,000, I 
don't have current head counts but can generate them if folks are 
interested).

What we've learned so far is that virtually no one can tell how to 
download a file in the current UI ( though it seems obvious to me ).

We'd love to collaborate with someone on scaling issues and, to the 
extent possible, UI issues.
