Hi Dave and GMOD team--

That's terrific, thanks!  We are finding a lot of interest in this tutorial

Dear Mary,

Thank you for contacting us about the GBrowse tutorial created by
OpenHelix.  It has great promise for making GBrowse easier to use.

I would be happy to share the tutorial with a few select peoplein the
GMOD project and then compile our feedback before sending it back to
you.

Once the tutorial becomes publicly available, I would also be happy to
link to it and promote it from the GMOD web site.

I will get back to you before November 28.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Dave Clements
