Minutes

AGR progress:

• Orthology: 5 min call on Wednesday
• Use cases: prepping document for December meeting; looking at creating gene, disease and GO-centric pages; gene centric will be geared to comparisons between species; Raymond suggested a landing page for each species;
• Technical: trying to figure out organization and how to get contributions from other developers; current prototype is based on flatfiles in elastic search http://search.alliancegenome.org/ for prototype portal; built by two developers at SGD.

About the December 6th meeting: somewhat vaguely defined. Communications/decision making need to be sorted out. Perhaps a full time project manager? Where is the money and new staff? How much time/money should we (in the MODs) be devoting to this now? Starts at 8:00 ends at 4:30 (that is what is most definitively known :-) What should the portal be, a toy to get us working together and not worry about what results? It hasn't worked in that regard. Or is it version 1 of the portal? Chris suggests that a org chart would be good given the diversity of the groups involved.
