[MOBY-dev] Manuscript and Moby 2 funding

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi all,

I've just re-submitted the revised manuscript to Briefings in  
Bioinformatics.  After discussing with the editor how best to respond to  
the contradictory requests of the reviewers, I have simply added a couple  
of sentences to each technical section of the manuscript describing the  
"biologists problem" that each component of Moby is trying to address.  I  
also put some screenshots of a Gbrowse-Moby browsing session into the  
supplementary information to help the biologist visualise how Moby can be  
used to direct the flow of data from service to service.  I'll put the  
final copy of the manuscript into the CVS later today.  Sorry I didn't  
pass it around for everyone to review before resubmission, but the  
deadline was tight due to the holidays, and the changes were quite minor.   
I hope nobody minds!

On another note, thank you to everyone who wrote support letters for the  
Genome Canada application for Moby 2.0.  Sadly, we didn't get funded...  
but we do have funding from the Heart and Stroke Foundation and from  
Microsoft, so we're still alive and kicking :-)

Best wishes and Happy New Year to all Mobyers!

Mark
