<br> Welcome to the wiki page of '''the Mapper Task Force Phase II''' (which started in Jan 2012). 

'''Task force coordiantor:''' M. Krakowian/EGI.eu 

''For additions, deletions and changes to this page please pass your proposals to/coordinate with Krzysztof Kurowski &lt;krzysztof.kurowski@man.poznan.pl&gt;'' 

This EGI Wiki section constitutes the working Wiki through which MAPPER, PRACE and EGI InSPIRE projects will coordinate the activities for '''Phase 2''' of the jointly formed MAPPER-PRACE-EGI Task Force (MTF). 

NGIs with QCG RC's: NGI_NL, NGI_PL, NGI_UK 

= Aims (proposal)  =

*to integrate QCG Nagios probes into the SAM release and to assess which of these probes will affect site Availability/Reliability in case of failure (affecting 
*to assess the status of accounting, and the developments needed to integrate what exists with the EGI accounting infrastructure 
*to integrate QCG support activities into the EGI mainstream support tasks (1st level, 2nd level and 3rd level)

Support for QCG middleware is provided through the QosCosGrid GGUS support unit with medium level of service support [QoS].
An independent xGUS instance is currently being set up for broader MAPPER support activities.

QCG will be externally supported by two partners: 

*PL-Grid for the 1st-level support 
*PSNC for 2nd and 3rd level support<br>
