[MOBY-l] discussion of GO abbs's and Re: [MOBY] Constructing MOBY objects

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi Midori, 

Sounds good!  It is (was) on my list of things to do this week to make a
CGI that would output the MOBY Namespace database in the GO_abbs file
format, so that we could maintain the information in a single place...
however I was invited to write a MOBY manuscript on very short notice
and that has jumped into first place priority!

So many tasks, so few hands!
