I have started a wiki page at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Grid, and it is linked to from
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience
Currently only Globus, voms and lfc are mentioned. If someone wants to
fill in all the globus packages, they can - I haven't time at the

Ideally it would contain information on how the packages work together
- so if anyone wants to write that, or provide links, then please go ahead.
