They look great, I checked them out. Would you be willing to do the following?

1. Log onto the SIS wiki and add a little tutorial (small) based on the above 
email
and screenshots?

wiki here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SIS/Home

2. Link the SIS tutorial via the OODT wiki, here:

That's awesome.

That would be perfect!

You are definitely heading in the right direction that's precisely what I was
hoping you would figure out how to do. Thank you Ross for the update
and your results look VERY promising, great job so far!
