  Description     : System for grid computing on organizational
resources, using BOINC.

Jarifa (a.k.a OGM) is a system for grid computing on organizational
resources, using BOINC.
Jarifa is designed for situations where some entities that own computers
(Suppliers) have decided to let another entities (the Allocator) decide
how their computer time is to be divided among a set of BOINC projects.
With Jarifa, Suppliers are able to control the usage of their computers
(for example, the hours during which it does BOINC computation).
However, they have no control over which BOINC projects their computers
contribute to; the Allocator makes that decision.
The BOINC projects to which computing power is given need not be related
to either Suppliers or Allocator; they might be public projects like
Climateprediction.net or Rosetta at home.

Sending a copy to the Debian BOINC Maintainers list waiting for their
comments about keeping this package within the team.

Regards!
