 \section calib_s2 CDB location
 
 One very important notion is that of the DefaultStorage (which you might set with 
  AliCDBManager::Instance()->SetDefaultStorage(path)), which tells the CDB library where
  the CDB is sitting (either locally on disk, or on the grid).

+A special kind of object is the status map. It would deserve a full documentation
+ (and that will need to be done some day), but for the moment, please have a look
+ at the MUONStatusMap.C macro which can let you play with it. For more information,
