Agenda

1. WS239 production status

1a. Is the mysql database issue resolved?

Specifically the use of full database names (and not symbolic names), also manifested in the discord between the app and gbrowse configuration files. For this release, I've mirrored existing databases to the original symbolic names in addition to the full g_species_BPID_WSXXX format.

  • Yes, full database names are being used and has been working properly for a month
  • Problems reported in this issue: #1833 (location widget/gbrowse links) are from the gbrowse url change
    • Please test.

1b. Other possibly blocking issues?

  • new development needs to be tested

1c. Merge of code

Merge to production branch should be handled by Friday afternoon if 1a. and 1b. resolved.

1d. Intermine build status for WS239

  • sequences post-process - started running 3 days ago,
    • db wiped 48hours in (miscommunication w/ JB)
    • need to re-run post-processing on backup db
  • problem with db structure - webapp not running
    • if he can't get it up today, will need to rebuild entire db

1e. Brief service interruption

I will need to briefly halt the dev.wormbase.org instance this weekend; this will cause all services to stop and unless they are set to restart, will remain halted. Let me know if this is a problem.

2. Intermine knowledge transfer progress

  • wb-intermine2 is up for JB
    • asking JD how to start things, rectifying things he misunderstands
  • rename xx to something more descriptive
    • JD will symlink them to xx
  • moving databases - loading flat dump files
  • just getting it up and running
    • next week will build

3. Mobile app support

@abby, anything you need from me before GSOC next week?

  • I will email you. Don't necessarily need a demo for GSOC. - Abby

4. Biostars as helpdesk?

Proposed by Joachim:

  • introduce specific wormbase tag, add email notifications for the tag, etc, so that all wormbase related questions can be asked in that central forum.
  • the community could eventually take over answering questions and/or people can make use of the biostars archive to look up common questions/answers.
  • branding: wormbase.biostars.org

A lot of open source dev projects use stackoverflow as their help desk - I think this is worth considering. - AC
