[Gmod-help] MOLGENIS

[Dave Clements]

Dear Morris,

I meant to give you a thoughtful response this week, but time has been hard
to come by for the past several days.  (We just finished the 2010 GMOD
Summer School and your email arrived while I was traveling.)

The requirements for GMOD software are described on the
http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_Membership page.  Can you take a look at those and
let me know if you think MOLGENIS meets the requirements?  That page also
describes the process of becoming part of GMOD.

I'll take a closer look at MOLGENIS and then (hopefully!) give you a
thoughtful response to this proposal.  If we still think we are a good match
then we'll start the nominating process.

I just read the XGAP paper last week (while flying to the summer school).

I'm taking tomorrow (Friday) off.  I'll try to send you a response by the
middle of next week.

Thanks for your interest,

Dave C.
