News/Ten Recent Web Site Changes
This entry summarizes several recent changes in the GMOD web
site. These changes are designed to make the
site more useful, and hopefully will make your GMOD web site experience
more pleasant.
Ten Recent Web Site Changes to Make Your GMOD Life Easier:
- Categories - Most of the pages in
the GMOD web site have now been tagged, and those tags can be used
as an alternative way to navigate the site. We have also added tools
that make it easier to assign tags when creating content. (Note: The
category hierarchy is still work in progress. Suggestions are
welcome.)
- GMOD News - News items of interest
to the GMOD community. This is also available as an RSS feed.
- Main Page - Items from the GMOD News
page and recently edited pages (non-minor edits) now show up in the
right sidebar.
- Calendar - Calendar of events of
interest to the GMOD project.
- Glossary - Short definitions of
non-biological terms used in GMOD.
- GMOD Mailing
Lists - Shows more
lists, and sorts them into Overview, Component, and Inactive lists.
If your list isn’t here, please add it.
- Site Guidelines -
Guidelines for creating and editing content on the GMOD web site.
- GMOD Help Desk - Explains
services offered by the help desk.
- Computing
Requirements -
Description of expertise and computing systems you’ll need to set up
a GMOD installation.
- Databases and
GMOD - An overview of
database concepts and how databases are used in GMOD.
Note that several of these pages need continuing contributions from the
community. That means you! We particularly encourage you to get in
the habit of submitting new Calendar,
Glossary, and News items.
Our next big goal for the web site is to reorganize the Chado
documentation. Watch the web site
for details on this.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks,
Dave Clements, GMOD Help Desk
