[Gmod-help] GMODTools, MODWare & Tripal

[Dave Clements]

Hi Todd, Jason, and others,

GMODtools:
The lack of doc is unfortunate, as it is a widely used package.  :-(.  I'll
add this to my queue.

Tripal:
This may have come online since you last looked at Tripal.
http://www.genome.clemson.edu/software/tripal
It includes a user guide.

Modware:
I am not sure what to do about Modware.  Only 1 person (out of 89
respondents) in the 2009 GMOD Survey used Modware, and I'm guessing they
were from where it was developed.

Scott, do you have any opinion on the viability of Modware?

Dave C.
