[Open-bio-l] Schema for genes & features & mappings to assemblies

[Chris Dagdigian]

If you write up your experiences into a "howto" we can check it into the 
cvs repository so that others can add/extend improve it. I can commit 
the document or we can set you up with a developer account.

I should probably step up and offer to start throwing up a basic 
biosql/obda website. This thread has been very interesting and there are 
probably lots of others who don't know about the open-bio-l mailing list 
yet. We need a site to advertise the repositories;  ERD's and the 
mailing list(s)
