[Go-essp-tech] Documenting CMIP5 data upgrades: the DRSCOMM application

[Estanislao Gonzalez]

Hi Stephen,

this looks great. It's something we will want to embed into the Gateway 
at some point, but it's definitely a good place to get started.
We already were thinking about were to store this information...

Thanks,
Estani
