Hi Todd, Jason, and others,<br><br>GMODtools:<br>The lack of doc is unfortunate, as it is a widely used package. :-(. I'll add this to my queue.<br><br>Tripal:<br>This may have come online since you last looked at Tripal. <a href="http://www.genome.clemson.edu/software/tripal">http://www.genome.clemson.edu/software/tripal</a><br>
It includes a user guide.<br><br>Modware:<br>I am not sure what to do about Modware. Only 1 person (out of 89 respondents) in the 2009 GMOD Survey used Modware, and I'm guessing they were from where it was developed.<br>
<br>Scott, do you have any opinion on the viability of Modware?<br><br>Dave C.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 12:16 PM, Todd Vision <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tjv@bio.unc.edu">tjv@bio.unc.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
A couple of general GMOD documentation weakspots are holding up Jason<br>
Phillip's progress on <a href="http://mimulusevolution.org" target="_blank">mimulusevolution.org</a>. These might be two areas of<br>
general interest that could use some focused attention from the helpdesk.<br>
Is it possible some material being prepared by Scott or Stephen for this<br>
year's courses will be helpful? Any other suggestions for how to get<br>
familiar with these tools?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Todd<br>
