Hello all,<br>
<br>
The status of Modware came up at the July 2008 GMOD meeting (see<br>
<a href="http://gmod.org/July_2008_GMOD_Meeting" target="_blank">http://gmod.org/July_2008_GMOD_Meeting</a>). I've since traded e-mails<br>
with Eric Just at Northwestern, and I thought I would pass on the<br>
details to the list.<br>
<br>
In general, only a few things have changed since Eric's response to<br>
Kevin Greer's post (on the same topic) in February. First, Eric has a<br>
new position at Northwestern, but he still works part-time for<br>
DictyBase. There are also two new programmers at DictyBase,<br>
Siddhartha Basu and Yulia Bushmanova.<br>
<br>
>From Eric:<br>
----<br>
We were hoping to get funding for Modware, and we applied for a grant<br>
through the (now apparently defunct) NSF Biological Databases an<br>
Informatics program. We were very disappointed that it took them<br>
nearly a year to tell us that we did not get funding for the project.<br>
We were planning on having a Modware full time programmer, but because<br>
of the lack of funding, we could not dedicate this resource.<br>
Siddhartha has shown great interest in continuing the project, and<br>
has, in fact added some functionality to it on the CVS HEAD. Our<br>
immediate plans are to build a new version on top of GMOD 1.0 and<br>
create a new release in the near future.<br>
----<br>
They also have long term plans to secure specific funding for Modware.<br>
<br>
The new GMOD 1.0-based release will be announced here and on the GMOD<br>
web site when it comes out. Also, keep your eyes open for an upcoming<br>
Chado API page on the web site. It will describe all known Chado API<br>
packages. (This was suggested at the July GMOD Meeting.)<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, please post them to this list.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
