FlyBase SAB update

  • FlyBase will start charging user fees
  • Mandatory but not enforced
    • Leave it up to labs to decide how many users they have
  • Well thought-out plan, “approved” by NHGRI
    • Fees are allowed to be charged to grants, donations are not
  • Allowed under U41, but not allowed for U24 : not an option for WB
  • We can use their announcement to encourage our users to contribute in non-financial ways (e.g. community curation)
