[Gmod-help] FlyBase Chado mapping tables

[Dave Clements]

Hi Josh,

It's great to hear that this is going on and thanks for thinking of us.

I have a suggested plan.  Please let me know what you think of it.

New Pages:


   - "FlyBase Chado" Introductory page that describes what the rest of the
   FlyBase chado doc, and use of Chado at flybase.
   - "FlyBase Chado - Audit Module" Doc on audit module tables.
   - "FlyBase Chado - Companalysis Module" Doc on comp analysis modules
   - etc.


New Page Content:


   - In the newly generated pages, it would be nice to have separate
   sections for each table.  This generates HTML anchors which other pages can
   then point to.
   - Fomat any wiki tables with class="wikitable" to make it look
   reasonable.  Or, come up with a flybase/chado specific CSS class, send it to
   me, and I'll add it to MediaWiki:Common.css.
   - For every module include a link to the equivalent generic module page.
   For example, on "FlyBase Chado - Audit Module" include a link to "Chado
   Audit Module".
   - For every table include a link to the equivalent generic table doc.
   Let's assume that the section names will retain the same format, e.g.,
   "Table: analysis"
   - Put a "[[Category:Chado FlyBase]]" tag on each page.  We'll make that a
   subcategory of both Chado and FlyBase.


Existing Page Content:


   - The next time we regenerate the chado module documentation we'll modify
   each module page to include a link to the equivalent FlyBase module page.
   We'll also modify each table description to include a link to the equivalent
   FlyBase table section.

Please let me know what you think.

Again, thanks for doing this,

Dave C
