[MISC] [MOBY-dev] TEST MOBY Central registry available

[Mark Wilkinson]

Note that 'URL' in the message below does not refer to a human-readable
web interface.  It is the location of the test MOBY Central SOAP server.

I have a student, Eddie, who is currently building a GUI interface for
service registration, and that should be up in the next few weeks.
