[fi-rg] Request to join the research of the FI-RG

[Ralph Niederberger]

Dear Thijs,

I am not familiar with using a wiki until now, but to get things started we
at FZJ would like to provide a skeleton for our new document (mostly
copied from our first FI-RG document).

I already changed title, assumed contributors, included a first
structure, added some comments who could contribute with which topics
and included also a first chapter about "High speed firewalls and load
balancing" which Egon and I prepared some time ago.

We did not know if you already prepared a first draft startup doc, if not, 
so
here it is.

best regards

Ralph

> As a second topic we want to talk about new upcoming solutions like
