Objectives
Maintain and document configuration of the next generation WormBase website.
- clean

- load different variables between dev and live (environment differences in configuration)
To Do:
- Document Configuration of the Web Application
- Develop a system for Maintaining Links to External Resources
- separate configuration from data initialization
- current wormbase.conf (Config::General) file contains model info which can get complex and may be difficult to put in .ini format.
- separate the config data (mostly db connections) into an .ini file.
Resources
Part 2: On Configuration (key,pdf) -- Configuration basics (and freebies)
