By "user flow" I mean how we connect the user from "I want to do X" to the
tutorial material that shows the user how to do it.

This is from an OSG Fermilab user:

Mike,

I was still tied up with Lustre until this week.  I am continuing on the
swift tutorial this week and got past the bugs in it and got through
section 4.2, "Running on a remote site".  That section is so vague as to
be barely of much use, but I did manage to get swift to run a job on an
OSG site (fnal) and just succeeded also on a Teragrid site (queenbee).
I was able to do that with my DOE certificate after finding these helpful
web pages
    https://www.teragrid.org/web/user-support/sso_nontgca
    http://info.teragrid.org/restdemo/html/tg/services/gram5

I didn't even realize before that Teragrid sites support basically the
same globus interface as OSG sites.  That shows how little I knew about
Teragrid.

So I'm not very far from the end of the tutorial now.

- Dave
