[MOBY-dev] Minutes from confrerence call of April 16

[Lincoln Stein]

1. Technical Assessment

Andrew will pull the various technical assessment documents together into an 
HTML document and send out to list.  Each individual is responsible for 
completing his sections.  Goal is to have a "pretty complete" draft done by 
next conference call.

2. Use Case Selection

Lincoln has selected three use cases for implementation in MOBY-S and S-MOBY:

	doBLAST	-- HARD: complex data sets; exercises collections and exceptions
	SNPsForGenes -- MEDIUM: exercises sequence ontology and demands that
		gene identifiers be sorted out
	citationSearch -- EASY: google-like search of citations, but demands
		that representation of all-important citation model be sorted out

The idea would be for each of these three use cases to be implemented in 
MOBY-S and S-MOBY.  CSHL will do SNPsForGenes and TAIR will do 
citationSearch.  Who volunteers to do doBLAST?

Comments on this section are welcome.

3. I3C meeting

I3C hackathon meeting May 7-9 to implement MOBY-S.  Mark is running. Andrew 
may be coming.  Goal is to have a demo for the next general meeting of I3C a 
month from the hackathon.

Congratulations to mark on the MOBY-S 0.50 specification!
