Query on IBM-Installtion Manger Charm Layer

[Kevin Monroe]

Hi Shruthima,

We came up with what we think an IBM Installation Manager base layer might
look like:

https://github.com/kwmonroe/layer-ibm-installation-manager

This is not a functional layer yet (ie, it needs to do the actual IBM IM
installation in ./reactive/ibm-installation-manager.sh), but we think this
is a good starting point for a layer that can be extended by other IBM
software (eg: WebSphere) that utilizes IBM IM for their install.  Check out
the README at the above repo to see how we envision other charm layers
using this IBM IM base layer.

Take a look and let us know if you have any questions or concerns with this
approach to providing a common IBM IM layer for others to extend.

Thanks,
Kevin
