Introducing BotQueue.com - Open Source Distributed Manufacturing

Hey RepRap, it's been a long time!  I've left MakerBot and am now back to hacking and building stuff because it's fun and righteous.

Anyway, I wanted to tell y'all about the latest project I've been working on.  I'm calling it BotQueue and it's designed specifically to control RepRaps (Marlin, Sprinter, GRBL, etc).  This is not just another host software, it is a distributed manufacturing software that will let you control lots and lots of machines through a simple web interface.  Needless to say, its 100% open source (both server and client).

If you want to read more, check the full blog post on my site, or head over to BotQueue.com and give it a whirl.

Love, Hoeken

PS. Big shouts to the pronterface guys.  I used your printcore.py as my driver for RepRap machines.
