[SAGA-RG] SAGA Information System Navigator

[Sylvain Reynaud]

Hi all,

We are also interested in seeing this going ahead. This is exactly what 
was missing in SAGA SD to cover the use-cases of the team in charge of 
developing the EGI Operations Portal.

Best regards,
Sylvain

>> As discussed at OGF29 we are considering proposing an "Information

>> Our test server can be found here http://rgma03.pp.rl.ac.uk/InfoBrowser/
