Wish List

SubtiWiki is all about making a useful tool for the Bacillus community. It is thus very important to receive feedback on what the community needs.

We believe that there are many types of users, with different requirements. For example:

• You could be a molecular biologist wanting to know the sequence of your gene of interest to make a PCR
• You find a reference to a gene in a paper you are reading and are interested to know more about that gene
• You have some hypotheses in mind and want to travel around the wiki, gathering some facts to get inspired
• You have a piece of information that you need almost daily and want to make it available not only to you, but also your group or to the whole community

In all of these cases, you will need different kind of information. The way you want it to be presented would differ too.

The wish list below takes into consideration all the possible users. Please add your wishes on what you would like to see.

Wish list

• Überarbeitung der rsmY-Seite, da fehlt fast alles
• Extraseite: Liste der sigA kontrollierten Gene
• The search should not be case sensitive
• It should be possible to get DNA sequences from intergenic regions, not only 200 bp up- and downstream of the gene
• On openwetware it is possible to insert a bibliographical information with a Biblio extension (requires only PMID); http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Biblio
• it would be helpful to have a better organization of the main page, by for instance providing links to specific pages about genes, groups/groupleaders, researchers etc.
