+ lots more juicy stuff about the information system
When you guys (esp. Laurence and Maarten but others as well) write this
kind of gold in emails to lcg-rollout, could you also dump it to a wiki
page with a reasonable title? Maybe this stuff is documented somewhere but
it seems to me that there is nothing on how the bits and pieces of the
Grid fit together that approaches the clarity of your postings here. If we
can get it all on the wiki then we can pull it together into a reasonable
document fairly easily. I may be wrong here, but I suspect that the
LCG-ROLLOUT search interface is not many people's preferred way of reading
documentation ...
