Subject: AG Workshop Documentation

G'day All

As part of my contribution to adding content to the AG website for
today's "Add content to AG website day", I have begun uploading a large
Access Grid Work Shop Document.  See http://www.accessgrid.org/node/917.


QCIF, together with the Australian Research Collaboration Service
(ARCS), are pleased to announce Access Grid Workshop documentation to
provide AG workshops on a global basis and to assist those who may not
be able to attend by providing these resources.

It is hoped that this document will provide a basis for providing AG
workshops all over the world!  It will also provide some additional
information for the Access Grid community.

Currently (only started today), I have been able to upload the following
topics 

    * Access Grid Installation Notes
    	+ Windows Install
    	+ Linux Installation
    	+ Mac OSX Installation
    	+ Configuring Profile

Over the up and coming weeks, I hope to upload the following additional
