+*** There is a new command swift-osg-ress-site-catalog which will generate
+    a site catalog based on data gathered from OSG's ReSS information
+    system. This can be used by OSG users to easily generate a large number
+    of site catalog entries for sites that are likely to work.

+Usage:
+    swift-osg-ress-site-catalog [options]
+
+Options:
+    --help  Show this help message
+
+    --vo=[name]
+            Set what VO to query ReSS for
+
+    --engage-verified
+            Only retrieve sites verified by the Engagement VO site
+            verification tests This can not be used together with --vo, as
+            the query will only work for sites advertising support for the
+            Engagement VO.
+
+            This option means information will be retrieved from the
+            Engagement collector instead of the top-level ReSS collector.
+
+    --out=[filename]
+            Write to [filename] instead of stdout
