Outstanding Help Desk Issues
- Is it OK to sell things on WormBase forum?
- Raymond suggests making a division between for-profit or non-profit, Paul S. suggests if laboratory work is involved that could be another distinction
- We could use this as a means to monetize a separate - better visibility for companies, the forum doesn't necessarily provide a large traffic
- User has issues logging into WormBase (https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/5812)
- Sibyl will take care of this
- [can't be dealt with until after Paul D. returns 21-8-17] Molecule model change still requires fixing of .ace, (https://github.com/WormBase/website/issues/5687)
