Agenda
AGR 1.0 spec - postponed
- FlyBase Harvard got together and thrashed out a specification for the content of the first release of the AGR portal.
- Other groups have been invited to do the same. Shall we?
CeNDR integration
- https://elegansvariation.org
- Erik Anderson has requested that we "integrate" with their site
- "Basic" integration: create strain objects for all missing strains, and provide links (in "External references" widget):
- from strain to strain (https://elegansvariation.org/strain/ECA252/)
- from gene to gene (https://elegansvariation.org/gene/WBGene00003417/)
- "Deeper" integration? What does this mean?
- Action following discussion with Erik (Mary Ann)
- curate and add 91 strains from their catalogue to WB
- add dbxref to all strains (342) in their catalogue
- add Comment to all CeNDR strains held at CGC pointing users to CeNDR
- fix some erroneous existing strain data (don't know which ones they are)
- add link from External Resources page
Intellectual Lineage Graph
(Should dev site goes down: standalone version).
Conference call using GoToMeeting
- Current AT&T Global Teleconference Service is very costly (~$500/month)
- gotomeeting.com appears to be similar to Bluejeans that AGR uses
- At a much lower cost, $30/month subscription fee for 50 participants
Help Desk issues outstanding
