Minor Changes to Context View, Plus a New Direction for Helps

The context view available from the BLAST/Scan search now includes additional explanatory text at the top. The pop-up box you get from clicking on a gene now shows only the NMPDR protein page. I am awaiting a response from Toby and Daniel as to whether I can get the click to go directly to the page without the intervening popup box.

When the incoming search pattern or sequence is more than 30 characters, the context view displays a character count rather than the entire sequence, because a long sequence looks really ugly.

 

I am in the process of re-doing the search helps and converting them to pages in the Seed Wiki. Clicking on the new-fangled blue-question-mark-things will pop up the relevant Wiki page.

In addition to the Wiki conversion, I have 11 more change requests from Leslie and 9 requests from Folker and Liz. Given that the Wiki conversion is essential and I also have to update some of the cover pages myself due to Leslie's absence, I am seriously thinking of pushing ahead the release date by another week or two. I will decide this tomorrow morning based on how much pain I'm in when I wake up.

Hey Bruce,

Isn't it the responsibility of Claudia and myself to deal with help? I'd like to do what I have the skills to do while allowing you to spend time on stuff I couldn't possibly accomplish. Can we take some pressure off you by dealing with this? Can we write to the seed wiki? (I have attempted in the distant past to logon and write, but permission was denied).

thanks, leslie

Bruce:

Actually, I hate writing, it's just that you were out of town. I'll get you and Claudia some IDs today.

leslie:

OK, I think I can write to the wiki. You commented that, "Given that the Wiki conversion is essential and I also have to update some of the cover pages ..." I am no longer absent and I can make some updates. I am having a hard time making a to-do list. What should I focus on?

thanks, leslie
