[MOBY-l] Re: [MISC] Installation docs & issues

[Mark Wilkinson]

This is strange... why would the tests now apparently try to connect to
Martin's instance of MOBY Central at EBI?

nevertheless, there is no point in trying to set up MOBY until we finish
the current major code revision - most things will be broken in the
meantime.  It should be done after the I3C hackaton next month, and will
be stable for a long long time thereafter.
