[MOBY-dev] error handling in MoSeS

[Mark Wilkinson]

Martin you totally rock!

Give us a couple of weeks to catch up on the Perl side of things - poor 
Eddie is re-writing a large portion of my code to give it the same 
architecture and API as the Java modules, so it is taking a while.  He's 
also writing the Perl plugin to dashboard, and making a trip down to 
TAIR next week to help them get started MOBYing, so he's a busy fellow!

I think it is about time to start writing "the big manuscript" with all 
the core developers as authors...  Martin, do you want to include tools 
like Dashboard in this publication, or are you planning to write an 
independent publication (or both?).  I'm thinking that I still may be 
able to get the gbrowse_moby interface published as an application note 
or something like that.  It isn't very powerful, but the interesting 
part of it from the CS point of view is how the rendering system works - 
it strikes me as being a very sensible way to deal with MOBY object data 
in a world where you can never predict what data you are going to have 
in-hand... though it may no longer be novel enough to be publishable.  I 
should have written that paper years ago...  >>sigh<<

Anyway, I'm going to start on the "big" manuscript but I will no doubt 
be asking for the various key parties to describe their own 
contributions, so please keep an eye on your inboxes for paragraph requests!

Cheers all!
