[Swift-devel] feature request

[Michael Wilde]

Towards that end - Glen wrote a nice script to query the 
info.teragrid.org services and generate a sites.xml tailored for the user.

The idea was this:

- user gets a TG login and is enabled on N sites
- user gets a proxy on their TG cert via myproxy.teragrid.org
- script probes the info service to get the site handles
- script gsissh'es to each site to find users home/scratch dir and 
anything else that is user specific

Needs testing, cleanup, improvement, I think, but I'd like to urge Glen 
to contribute it and us to work with him to package and maintain it.

I think it would enable many people in the OOPS group to start using TG 
resources.

Same can be done with OSG.  And ADEM in this context looks very promising.
