[CCGT] Science Gateways workshop background

[Charlie Catlett]

Friends-
Since the proposal I sent regarding this workshop mentioned a group 
in TeraGrid that was aiming to have a document drafted in March I 
wanted to send it to you.  It's very preliminary, but it shows that 
the group is serious and already getting work done.   I expect an 
iteration on this document within a few weeks since it was discussed 
in great detail during several sessions of the TeraGrid all-hands 
meeting earlier this week.  I think this workshop will be very 
important to the community.  My hope is that it will bring in some of 
the less-involved sectors of the community including people who are:

- building portals for scientific communities
- implementing web services on resources in operational grids
- developing operational policies and mechanisms for varying degrees 
of authorization (from full access shell accounts to restricted 
service invocations) based on varying degrees of authentication (from 
highly trusted authentication to anonymous access)
- trying to make multiple grids work together, etc.
