Maintaining a Science Gateway - Lessons Learned from MoSGrid

We here present the experiences collected maintaining and updating the MoSGrid science gateway over the past years. Insights are provided on a technical and organizational level useful for the design and operation of science gateways in general. The specific challenges faced and solved are considered to be valuable for other communities.
