Hi there,

> for client-side in future builds?

We have an agreement with NOAA/NWS to restrict the generation of watches, 
warnings, advisories
in Unidata's public version of AWIPS because we can't run the safety risk of 
people potentially
distributing their created warnings as official National Weather Service 
products.

Because of this, we will not be looking to incorporate the "send" ability for 
warngen in our 
distribution of Unidata.  Not only would it affect all of the users who use our 
public EDEX,
but they could also be misconstrued as official warnings.

Sorry about that.
