[MOBY-dev] Human Readable Registry on the Web ?

[Jiten Bhagat]

Hi Steffen,

Just to add to Carole's email - what you'll see now is the beta site 
that we are preparing for a public launch at ISMB at the end of this 
month. So far, we have harvested some BioMoby services from SeekDa, but 
we intend to have better integration and harvesting of BioMoby services 
by Q4 of this year.

Check out our roadmap 
(http://www.biocatalogue.org/wiki/doku.php?id=public:roadmap) and get in 
touch, if you're interested :-)

Thanks,
Jits
