The OSG site file generator exists and generates nice site files for OSG 
VOs, for as long as OSG continues to use ReSS; perhaps another year or so 
based on previous OSG information system practice.

Its not clear to me if TeraGrid publishes enough useful information in a 
mechanically recoverable form for a similar thing to happen for TG sites - 
what I've seen is the web pages which seem very human readable and mostly 
sufficient; and the MDS stuff, which seemed rather sparse though usable.

We could have a manually curated list of sites; but that requires ongoing 
curation which is a non-trivial ongoing task. The distribution already 
contains such a manually curated list.

Theres also a set of sites in the tests/sites/ directory. In principle, 
that could become a general purpose site repository which the Community 
would maintain, wiki-style; but the existing sites list is also open to 
Community maintenance and has received few if any updates.
