You should be able to copy that file to other user's Taverna home directories, and they should get the same services listed. It does not work (yet) to include this file in conf/ in the distribution directory, but we could raise that as a bug, if you like. (You could then make your own distributions of Taverna with a fixed set of services) Note that the file includes a list of services you've added manually, and which of the defaults you have removed - meaning that if a new default service appears (say by installing the usecase plugin), it would appear as it is not in the 'ignore list'. As service providers are described using quite simple configurations (typically just an URI), it should work across Taverna versions, but if a default service provider changes (say in Taverna 2.2 we refer to BioMoby at http://somenewhost/ instead of at http://moby.ucalgary.ca/.. - then that service provider would appear, as the ignore list is ignoring Moby's from http://moby.ucalgary.ca/ It is also possible to remove the tick box for 'Include default service providers' in Preferences -> Service providers, this would permanently (at least until you re-tick) remove all default service providers.
