Welcome!
How does this work?
+
+ What you're looking at right now is Workbench, the graphical interface to the Arvados system.
+
For example, here's what a pipeline running in Arvados looks like:
+ <%= image_tag "pipeline-running.gif", :class => "style_image" %>
+
+ Click the Next > button below for a speed tour of Arvados.
+
+ Note: You can always come back to this Getting Started guide by clicking the in the upper-right corner.

Three Useful Terms
+ * Pipeline -- A re-usable series of analysis steps.
+ ** Sometimes known as a âworkflowâ in other systems
+ ** A list of well-documented public pipelines can be found in the upper right corner by clicking the "?" > "Public Pipelines and Datasets"
+ ** Pro-tip: Pipeline > Jobs > Tasks. A pipeline contains jobs which contain tasks.
+ ** Pipelines can only be shared within a project
+
+ * Collection -- Like a folder, but better
+ ** Upload data right in your browser
+ ** Better than a folder?
+ *** Collections contain the content-address of the data instead of the data itself
+ *** Sets of data can be flexibly defined and re-defined without duplicating data
+ ** Collections can be shared using the "Sharing and Permissions" > "Share" button
+
+ * Projects -- Contain pipelines templates, pipeline instances (individual runs of a pipeline), and collections
+ ** The most useful one is your default "Home" project, under Projects > Home
+ ** Projects can be shared using the "sharing" tab

Why We Think Arvados is Awesome
+ 1. Reproducible Analyses: Enough said.
+ 2. Data provenance: Every file in Arvados knows can tell you where it came from.
+ 3. Serious scaling: Need 500 GB of space? 200 compute hours? Arvados scales and parallelizes your work for you intelligently.
+ 4. Share pipelines or data: Easily publish your work the world, just like the Pathomap team did: http://www.pathomap.org/2015/04/08/run-the-pathomap-human-ancestry-pipeline-on-arvados/
+ 5. Use existing pipelines: Use best-practices pipelines on your own data with the click of a button
+ 6. Open-source: Arvados is completely open-source. Check us out at http://arvados.org/
+
+ This guide and even all of Workbench is just a glimpse into the power of Arvados. Want to use the command-line instead? Or hungry to learn more? Check out our detailed documentation: http://doc.arvados.org/ (our real-time contact info is there too!)
+
+ That's all, folks!
