What is the role of the service manager framework?

I could work on the cluster administration stuff, but the fact is I don't 
have much background in the mechanics of distributed computation, and only a 
little background in the security/authentication stuff that would be 
involved.  I've written business EJBs that can run on distributed EJB server 
clusters, but that's a whole different thing. :-)
