[Go-essp-tech] getting started document

[Rachana Ananthakrishnan]

Some comments:

- Bob mentioned that there are some Data Nodes that use tokens for authentication, in which case the MyProxy step is not needed. It now mentions the temporary token, but still asks the user to follow the MyProxy step. Is there anything on the Gateway download page that can indicate to the user if the MyProxy step is needed or not?
- For the "hosted" version of this document, it might be useful to do some snapshots for some of the steps. For example, where OpenID is entered in the page or what the MyProxy Logon looks like. 
- This document talks only about wget downloads and setting that up. I am wondering whether there is a need for explaining use of DML. It would be needed only if there any datasets published with GridFTP endpoints, and maybe there are none at this point?

Some edits attached.

I don't think we are there yet but I hope I've improved how we explain Gateways and OpenID in steps 1-3.  I will review the download part as soon as I can as: I want to minimise the complexity of explaining the MyProxy service but this will depend on how automatic we can make the wget script.

Could someone read over it and edit it where needed so that it is correct for the new non-token system?  Any suggestions on simplifying it would also be helpful.
