Hi Mary,<br><br>I'm on leave until next week and probably won't get to review this (in any thorough way) before release. I'm sending this on to the folks who reviewed it the first time around. <br><br>Everyone: if you have any feedback, please send it to Mary. <br>
<br>Mary, when it's ready you/we should announce this to the GBrowse mailing list (<a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gmod-gbrowse">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gmod-gbrowse</a>) and on the GMOD News page / RSS feed (<a href="http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_News">http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_News</a>). I can do either of these for you if you want.<br>
<br>Good to hear it is very close,<br><br>Dave C.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 2:01 PM, Mary Mangan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mmangan@openhelix.com">mmangan@openhelix.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Hi
Dave—</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We
have the new version of the movie up for your review. <a href="http://openhelix.com/gbrowse" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext;">http://openhelix.com/gbrowse</span></a>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Known
issue: MGI logo is broken in the exercise section. I have reported
that to them and they are fixing it. We will re-do that when it is all set.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Major
new features: Title slide includes 1.x version. Version info is
included in several places. Some other edits have been made as per our
previous discussions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Have
a look and let us know what you think. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Also
attached is a press release we would like to send out next week announcing the
availability of our Model Organism tutorials. We would be honored if we
could get a quote from you about GBrowse and/or the GBrowse tutorial. We
have went ahead and put in a suggested quote, but this can be edited or
completely altered as you see fit. Or if you aren't permitted to do
something of that nature we'll understand. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Currently
we expect to do a soft launch on Friday and start the real push next
week. Depending on how the other bits come together, of course…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Best
regards,</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hi Mary,<br>
<br>
I talked about this at the GMOD community meeting last week. It was well
received.<br>
<br>
And someone asked what version of GBrowse the tutorial was based on. :-)<br>
<br>
Please let me know when the tutorial is released.<br>
<br>
Hope all is well,<br>
<br>
Dave c.<br>

<p>Hi Mary,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the update. I'll try things out later today, and I'll<br>
announce it informally and and with limitations at the GMOD meeting.<br>
I'll also talk about other tutorials in the set.<br>
<br>
Once it is formally released I'll announce it on the GMOD web site and<br>
on the GBrowse list (or you can, if you want).<br>
<br>
Thanks for the quick are very clear response.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

Test that out. You can give that out for<br>
