Network Workbench

Network Workbench (NWB) is a project that will design, evaluate, and operate a unique distributed, shared resources environment for large-scale network analysis, modeling, and visualization, named Network Workbench (NWB). The envisioned data-code-computing resources environment will provide a one-stop online portal for researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in the study of biomedical, social and behavioral science, physics, and other networks.

Questions:
 * how do you write plugins for NWB? In which languages?
 * do you need Eclipse for writing plugins or you can do it with other environments (such as emacs for example)?
 * is there a shell mode that allows you to run algorithms and import data from the command line?
