1. Minutes of the last meeting
Minutes of the meeting of 10th August 2009 are
here.
2. Maintenance etc.
2.1 Applications
Alan released an updated mEMBOSS.
2.2 Libraries
Peter reported that we need to patch 6.1.0 to fix the problem
with SwissProt DE lines reported last week.
If other fixes are identified in time they can be included in the patch.
2.3 SoapLab
Mahmut has changed SOAPLAB jobs exiting with a timeout to report
"Terminated by request" rather than report having finished
successfully. The timeout has now been set to 5 hours as planned.
Mahmut has completed an update of the SOAPLAB-related
sentences in the EMBOSS documentation.
3. New developments
4. Administration
None.
5. Documentation and Training
5.1 Books
Alan has completed proof reading the Developers book. This coming week
he will look at prefaces/appendixes/etc and check, along with Mahmut,
that the Jemboss chapter conforms to the GUI supplied with 6.1.0.
He will get a final confirmation from Lisa that she's OK with
the highlighting in the Jemboss chapter.
Jon has updated the list of interfaces. New interfaces and
descriptions have been added (Mahmut will write a section on Spinet).
The JPRED image in the books was corrupted and has been deleted.
All the <systemitem> markup tokens have been checked. Some have been
removed (e.g. format names), others have been converted to more
specific tokens (e.g. application names). The capitals in proper nouns have
been made consistent (e.g. FASTA). More text boxes have been added (e.g.
). In the bibliography Jon has added a new list of papers that
cite EMBOSS. He noted that there are 570 such papers in PubMed.
5.2 Website
None.
6. User queries and answers
Mahmut reported that a hanging problem with nthseq in SOAPLAB has
gone away after EBI external services applied patches from the ftp
server.
7. AOB
None.
8. Date Of Next Meeting
The next meeting will be on Monday 24th August.
