[MOBY-dev] Registration situation

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi Andreas and Dirk,

The current situation is that the RDF agent has replaced the ability to  
deregister "stable" services via the API, for security purposes; however  
the registration of services (both "test" and "stable"), and the  
deregistration of "test" services is still possible via the API.

I don't think that the gbrowse moby instance at iCAPTURE ignores services  
without an RDF description (that certainly wasn't my intent!), but it does  
ignore services that have been determined (by a moby-ping) to be  
inaccessible.  Eddie has a cron that pings every service regularly (every  
couple of hours?).

If gbrowse is filtering "test" services please let me know because that  
wasn't my intention...
