Dear GMOD team,

First, compliments on the great work with GMOD. Secondly I want to 
propose adding our MOLGENIS project to the GMOD family. In particular 
because we now embarked on animaldb, a project to manage experiments on 
model organisms, as well as various genotype/phenotype efforts that 
overlap with GMOD activities. Also we noticed GMOD expanding with the 
inclusion of affiliated infrastructures like BioMART and Galaxy. We 
would like to make sure our activities converge.

Background: In the five-odd years we have developed a powerful database 
generator software named MOLGENIS that generates web applications plus 
user, R, Java, SOAP, REST, RDF and tab delimited exchange format. This 
formaly has proven an excellent platform to rapidly prototype custom web 
applications for life science experiments. With more and more users 
spread over the world we would be delighted to make our work part of the 
GMOD network which we think is a great way to make sure projects work 
together. Currently we are about 10 developers as well as partners 
distributed over mainly Europe which allows us to provide GMOD levels of 
support and help. We are preparing to integrate into GMOD components and 
models so bind our communities together. See attachement of our BOSC 
abstract for some more info.

Hoping for a positive response we have proactively added some more 
information to http://gmod.org/wiki/MolGenIS
Being a newcomer in GMOD not knowing ettiquette, thus we've not yet 
added to the Database Tools section http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_Components

Kind regards,
Morris Swertz
