For those who wish to "roll their own", a routinely updated tarball of a typical site-info.def/vo.d is available here:

About GridPPWiki

• If you want to add content to this Wiki, then see advice on basic markup.
• Before you add a section it's worth browsing the names of all pages in the wiki to be sure that someone hasn't started an article with a slightly different name.
• Please use wiki categories to help organise the information in wiki. You can make categories hierarchical by adding the category to another category (a good example is that Category:File Catalog is a subcategory of Category:Data Management which is a subcategory of Category:Grid Middleware which is a subcategory of Category:Top Level). General Documentation on categories is useful.
