Hi Alessandra,
The repositories are available for use, both Daniela and Robert were able
to upload some data within the appropriate repositories and make it
available at WN level.
People with appropriate credentials (i.e. role=lcgadmin for each VO) could
upload data and as long as the batch farms have correct configuration for
the 'gridpp.ac.uk' CVMFS domain (and I think all UK sites have it), the
repositories could be mounted.
I'll have a look at the existing documentation in the gridpp.ac.uk wiki
pages, maybe it needs some updates.
