[EMBOSS] GUI interfaces

[Ryan Golhar]

Hi Nich,

We (UMDNJ) migrated off of GCG several years ago.  We found most of our 
users prefer the command-line interface for shell scripting or a web 
interface for GUI access from their own computers.

We use EMBOSS-Explorer for the web interface.  Its (much) cleaner and 
faster than SeqWeb ever was and doesn't rely on the server storing user 
data.  We removed our responsibility of backing user data by moving off 
a server storages system to the user instead.  There are no issues with 
user account management (username/passwords) with this system either.
With GCG, we would have at least 1 or 2 user issues per month.  Since 
the switch, I can honestly say our user issues are maybe 1 or 2 per year.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to email me,

Ryan
