[MOBY-dev] [moby] BioMOBY at the Oscars

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hmmmm.... 

Perhaps, given that Taverna is the most widely-used client for MOBY, we
need to find a more high-profile way of announcing these extensions,
since they don't seem to be getting noticed, even by other Taverna
developers...

"For most of this century we have viewed communications as a conduit, 
       a pipe between physical locations on the planet. 
What's happened now is that the conduit has become so big and interesting 
      that communication has become more than a conduit, 
       it has become a destination in its own right..."
