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

[Twigger Simon]

Actually, while I think about it. I originally thought that we might  
have some sort of 'workflow exchange' or repository on the site.  
These could also be along the lines of blog postings but with the XML  
files inline or attached. They could have their own post category so  
they would be easy to find. Sharing these workflows will make  
everyone's life easier but I havent seen too much of that going on I  
suspect people are reinventing 'how to I do a blast using MOBY' and  
similar things which might be made available as standard components  
that people could integrate into their own Taverna workflows, thereby  
significantly lowering the barrier to entry for new MOBY users.
