[Simbiome-feedback] RE: Simbiome Resource Inventory - Beta Review

[Michael Levitt]

Dear Jon,

   The interface is clean and the information is well-presented. 
I could see nothing to be removed .  As for adding, this is a 
slow process that we need to think about more.  It also will
likely make the resource deeper is certain narrow areas.
Do you have  a format for suggesting additional areas?

   Actually, I would add a link to ProShape, Patrice Koehl's 
exceptionally fast and robust software for protein geometry.
(see: http://nook.cs.ucdavis.edu:8080/~koehl/research.html).
I am sure this is much better than Surfnet.

   Also, Axel Brunger is now at Stanford so it X-PLOR still at Yale.
There is a better package based on explore but in the public
domain (I think) managed by Marius Clore at NIH.

   Another useful link is EBI MSD (Molecular Structure Database)
which has better biological units in PQS.  A link to netlib, the database
of legacy software with some amazing numerical routines is also 
good.

PS:  Perhaps set up a mailing list of your beta testers so that each 
of our emails go to all the others.  That way, our memories will be 
collectively jogged to add new resources.  To this end, I am copying my
email
to Sherm, Vijay and Russ.

Dear Simbios Participants and Faculty,


As you may know we've been built an online resource inventory for the
Simbios Center - we've called it the "Simbiome".  Back in February, we
polled members of the Center for suggestions on what resources should
initially be on the list.

Before we release Simbiome for public use, we would like your feedback.
Specifically, we want you to look at the resources listed and let us know if
there are ones we should add, or ones listed that should be removed. 


The site is here:	http://simbiome.org

To access the site, use 
			UserName: beta
			Password: 123123


There are instructions on the front page for what (& how) to review.
Specifically, please go to the "List all resources" page
	      http://simbiome.org/resource/list and read through and see if
there are other, trusted resources that you think we should recommend.


You can reply to this email (simbiome-feedback at simtk.org) with suggestions,
feedback, and helpful criticism.  Your time and feedback are greatly
appreciated.  Please reply by May 8 (this week).

If you get really excited and want to add resources yourself - sign up for
an user account and start adding!  Feedback on this process would be great
too.


Thank you.


Regards,
Jon
