A breakdown of major changes and milestones in the development of the SEQwiki site.

22 July 2009 
I created a new 'class' using the 'create class' feature of SF. The class tries to encapsulate a 'Bioinformatics application', and includes a Template, a Category and a Form, as well as several properties. There must be a trick to listing properties...

Originally there was the SEQanswers thread, then there was the NBIC table, now there is this wiki (just to be clear about provenance). First data was taken from the thread and put on NBIC, then data was taken from NBIC and put here.
12 August 2009 
Created a two new 'classes', Reference and URL. I put in the bare bones of a system to allow users to add references and URLs to 'bioinformatics applications'. The system is head together by queries and 'forminput' links in the 'bioinformatics application template. Everything is still very crude, although I'd like to polish it up so that people can actually start contributing data.
18 August 2009
Created a beta release of the 'user contributed software database' within the wiki. Content is organised via the Software Hub page.
17 September 2009 
Created a couple of filters for Semantic Drilldown. See: Special:BrowseData and Category:Bioinformatics application. For the Bioinformatics method filter see Property:Bioinformatics method and Filter:Bioinformatics method. For the Biological domain filter see Property:Biological domain and Filter:Biological domain.
28 October 2009 
Added the world famous Link box to the bottom of the 'Bioinformatics application' Template. I'd like to 'float' this template down, but that requires some JS...
24 February 2010 
Created a 'file format' class to store data about file formats. There is only one property in this class, because each format is so different from the next. All we expect here is a free text description of the format with links a references.
