Please create a user account on GGF GridForge, the working home of the Global Grid Forum. This site is a new development within GGF and we expect to refine the tools and capabilities offered during the next year. Your experience at the site will be invaluable as we tune it to the needs of GGF participants.

The initial structure of the site provides a "project" for each GGF working group and research group, organized into their respective GGF Areas. "Projects" are individual "sites" within the GGF GridForge site, each with its own set of tools.

Initially we are supporting document management and review within groups as well as "trackers" which allow specific actions (e.g. review this document, or complete a task by a certain date, etc.) to be assigned to members of the project. With your GGF GridForge login you can join projects in order to participate in trackers and document review. Anonymous users, or users who are not members of projects, may still see project documents and information but cannot generally participate in trackers and document

review, etc.

In addition, "projects" have been defined on the GGF GridForge site for special projects or functions. The GGF Editor project is where GGF drafts may be submitted to the editor, and where anyone may track the progress of such submissions. Program committees for GGF meetings, the GFSG, the GFAC, and other groups will also have projects where they can work together.

If you have suggestions, please use the support tracker - this is a new site and we expect to successively refine it over the next year to make it useful to the GGF community. Thanks for participating!
