Help Pages

These pages are structured to hopefully help anyone who is involved in the Grid to get the information they need whether that is potential users, new users or site administrators. If you think there is a section missing or have something to add please contact Neasan O'Neill - n.oneill@qmul.ac.uk

The Wikis

The GridPP wiki is a very useful resource an should be able to help with most problems. If it does not but you do solve an issue please add it to the Wiki, it is a community driven tool and as such needs input from all members of the collaboration.

The collaboration also use the gLite middleware and so sys admins and providers may find the gLite documentation a useful resource too.
