Khoros/DX/GUI was [Bioperl-l] BOF

[Nirav Merchant]

It would be wonderful to have a GUI like DX, specially the ability to
generate your own DXMacros to extend the GUI.

I personally like the VI [virtual instrument] interface in Labview [
National Instruments], similar to DX but with a Visual Basic twist.

The fragment assembly system we support/develop [FAKtory] has a interface
for defining a pipeline and stages. Check the screen shot at:

ust.html

May be we should consider this as a topic for discussion  in
SanDiego..possibly writing a "bioinformatics/bioperl" plugins to such
programs
