Carl,<br><br>The Community Annotation Server is very much under active development. Scott Cain, the GMOD Project Coordinator, is working on it. Scott will be teaching a session on it at the GMOD Summer School in July (<a href="http://gmod.org/GMOD_Summer_School">http://gmod.org/GMOD_Summer_School</a>). BirdBase and related projects are well represented at the summer school. Li Jin from Delaware, and Parker Antin and Sean Davey from Arizona will all be there.<br>
<br>GMOD welcomes outside development and extension of CAS as well as other components. Do you have anything in particular in mind?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Dave C.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 1, 2008 at 11:03 AM, Carl Schmidt <<a href="mailto:schmidtc@udel.edu">schmidtc@udel.edu</a>> wrote:<br>

It would be very useful to efforts to build a BirdBase in which gene annotation from the community is supported. Before proposing to use it, I am curious if it is/will be supported by GMOD. Also, would GMOD accept outside development/extension of the Community Annotation System?<br>
