 In some cases you may be able to use sample versions that are part of BOINC.
 Each program should be listed as a [ProjectDaemons daemon] in the [ProjectConfigFile config.xml] file.

+== Submitting jobs ==
+
+To submit a job you must
+
+ 1. Write XML [JobTemplates template files] that describe the job's input and output files (typically the same template files can be used for many jobs).
+ 1. [JobStage Stage] the job's input file(s)
+ 1. Invoke a [JobSubmission BOINC function or script] that submits the job.
+
+Once this is done, BOINC takes over: it creates one or more instances of the job,
+distributes them to client hosts, collects the output files.
+It [ValidationIntro validates] and
+[AssimilateIntro processes] the results,
+and deletes the input and output files.
+
+Typically, steps 2) and 3) are done by a [WorkGeneration work generator] program
+that creates lots of jobs.
