WikiPathways Questions & Comments

Questions and requests for using WikiPathways (for Alex Pico's visit on Feb 24, 2014)

Questions can also be sent to wikipathways-discuss@googlegroups.com

Questions

1. How are edits resolved when multiple people are working on a single pathway simultaneously?

2. What does the "Hypothetical pathway" tag signify?

3. Unconnected lines? Any way to resolve in entirety these edges?

4. Can we include chemicals as nodes in the pathway? Are these supposed to be represented by the "Metabolite" node?

Requests

1. googlesque "who else is logged in and or editing" notification or google-type real-time collaborative editing view. Edits are being lost

2. It is currently difficult to select a bunch of objects or groups and move them or resize them simultaneously. 
Can we make that possible? Otherwise we need to make bulk changes to objects one-at-a-time.

3. The current viewport for a pathway (in standard viewing/browsing mode, as opposed to editing mode) has a 
fixed height and is quite small. Can we make the viewing window resizable?

4. Annotations to nodes and edges (such as comments and references) are only available from the network diagram
 in editing mode. Can we make it so that annotations to nodes and edges are available by (for example) 
right-clicking on a node or edge in the viewing/browsing mode?

5. Currently the only way to "pan" the pathway diagram image is to click on the arrows. It would be much more
 convenient to be able to click and drag the image to pan
