01/17/2008 09:30:28 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Hello 01/17/2008 09:30:44 AM from melissaH to All Participants: hi there 01/17/2008 09:30:57 AM from midori to All Participants: hi 01/17/2008 09:31:56 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: It's too bad WebEx doesn't show the new participants the messages they missed before they joined the chat. 01/17/2008 09:32:01 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: If it did, we could just get started. 01/17/2008 09:33:11 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I'll be right back, I'm getting some tea... 01/17/2008 09:33:30 AM from melissaH to All Participants: ok, me too. 01/17/2008 09:35:45 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Hi, Karen 01/17/2008 09:36:01 AM from midori to All Participants: welcome back! 01/17/2008 09:36:03 AM from Karen to All Participants: Hi Nomi 01/17/2008 09:36:07 AM from Karen to All Participants: thanks 01/17/2008 09:36:11 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Where were you? 01/17/2008 09:36:21 AM from Karen to All Participants: maternity leave 01/17/2008 09:36:31 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Oh! 01/17/2008 09:37:00 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: How old is your baby? 01/17/2008 09:37:02 AM from Karen to All Participants: wacky, I can get onto this Webex no problem, but I haven't been able to get onto the SGD group meeting ones, I'll have to check to see the settings - it complains that I don't have Windows Media player... 01/17/2008 09:37:06 AM from Karen to All Participants: almost 4 months 01/17/2008 09:37:25 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I'm on a Mac, and it hasn't said anything about Windows Media player. 01/17/2008 09:37:35 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I haven't had too much trouble with Webex. It's generally worked for me. 01/17/2008 09:38:22 AM from Karen to All Participants: yea me too, but when I go through the troubleshooting for the SGD meeting, that's the one that fails. Until recently WEbex has been great for me. I've hosted meetings from home and used OBO-Edit. 01/17/2008 09:38:38 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Jennifer just emailed me that she's all by herself on the Webex 01/17/2008 09:38:49 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: She must be on a different one. Hang on while I try to figure out what's going on. 01/17/2008 09:40:27 AM from midori to All Participants: hi again ppp 01/17/2008 09:40:28 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I sent her the URL for this one--hopefully she'll find us soon! 01/17/2008 09:40:52 AM from midori to All Participants: What timing! Webex crashed just as I was typing a comment to the effect that I sometimes have it crash. 01/17/2008 09:40:53 AM from melissaH to All Participants: a belated congrats, Karen 01/17/2008 09:41:05 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Jen made it! Yay! 01/17/2008 09:41:06 AM from Karen to All Participants: thanks :) 01/17/2008 09:41:06 AM from midori to All Participants: but I've only had trouble joining once 01/17/2008 09:41:09 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: hi 01/17/2008 09:41:25 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Congrats from me, too! I didn't know! 01/17/2008 09:41:36 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Ok, this is probably everyone. 01/17/2008 09:41:45 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: tanya's on the way 01/17/2008 09:41:47 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: So, I have a sick three-year-old home with me today. 01/17/2008 09:41:58 AM from melissaH to All Participants: bummer, know how that goes!! 01/17/2008 09:42:01 AM from midori to All Participants: Tanya just asked if it's worth her showing up. 01/17/2008 09:42:04 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: She is currently watching Creature Comforts on my computer (while I'm relegated to the laptop). 01/17/2008 09:42:15 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Tell her she doesn't have to. 01/17/2008 09:42:20 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: (Her Tanya) 01/17/2008 09:42:28 AM from Karen to All Participants: Fortunately, my 3 year old is well and at daycare, and right now the baby is sleeping 01/17/2008 09:42:46 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: sounds good :-) 01/17/2008 09:42:48 AM from melissaH to All Participants: hooray! 01/17/2008 09:42:51 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Anyway, if I suddenly fail to answer something, it's probably because I had to attend to my daughter. 01/17/2008 09:43:01 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: good to know 01/17/2008 09:43:12 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: john had that too so we are all organised for unexpected silences 01/17/2008 09:43:34 AM from midori to All Participants: gives us time to type up more long questions ;) 01/17/2008 09:43:43 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Anyway, there's not much on the agenda today. 01/17/2008 09:43:46 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: good point 01/17/2008 09:43:52 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Midori has set up a poll for the meeting time. 01/17/2008 09:43:57 AM from midori to All Participants: Is someone on transcript duty? 01/17/2008 09:44:08 AM from midori to All Participants: I missed a bit when webex crashed ... 01/17/2008 09:44:13 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: could I ask a question later about obsoletes? 01/17/2008 09:44:25 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I can send out a transcript. 01/17/2008 09:44:36 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Yes, Jen (though I don't promise to be able to answer it). 01/17/2008 09:44:40 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: :) 01/17/2008 09:44:52 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: As for the meeting time, keep in mind that I will soon be replaced by our new OBO-Edit developer. 01/17/2008 09:44:59 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: She is still waiting for a visa (last I heard). 01/17/2008 09:45:13 AM from midori to All Participants: thanks (for transcript) 01/17/2008 09:45:31 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: So it may not make much sense to worry about my schedule when deciding on the meeting time, since Amina will presumably have different constraints anyway. 01/17/2008 09:46:15 AM from midori to All Participants: It's easy to set up those polls, so I can do another one when Amina's here. 01/17/2008 09:46:26 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: The only reason I'd even change the meeting time now is so as not to exclude David. 01/17/2008 09:46:41 AM from midori to All Participants: (OR we can just present her with the results of this one ...) 01/17/2008 09:46:52 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I was discussing the "regulates" icon with Chris yesterday. 01/17/2008 09:47:22 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I suggested one that he liked, with a circle that has an arched arrow (suggestive of some sort of regulatory network) and an R. 01/17/2008 09:47:31 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Oh, here's midori again. Sorry Webex is not working well for you today. 01/17/2008 09:47:45 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: that sounds nice 01/17/2008 09:47:45 AM from midori to All Participants: wow, two crashes in 15 minutes ... don't think I've had that happen before! 01/17/2008 09:48:01 AM from melissaH to All Participants: there are two of you now! 01/17/2008 09:48:03 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Anyway, I made a rough mockup of it, and I think one of the more graphically gifted group members might try to work on it. 01/17/2008 09:48:05 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: the icon will have to be very small in oboedit 12 point font so there may not be room for much detail 01/17/2008 09:48:13 AM from midori to All Participants: I'll catch what I missed in the transcript. 01/17/2008 09:48:21 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: We've been busy this week with a grant proposal (due tomorrow-ack!). 01/17/2008 09:48:21 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: oooo 01/17/2008 09:48:30 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: It's mostly for PATO. 01/17/2008 09:48:30 AM from midori to All Participants: good luck! 01/17/2008 09:48:35 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: yes good luck 01/17/2008 09:48:58 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Suzi's the one who needs the good wishes. I imagine she's pulling a few all-nighters this week. 01/17/2008 09:49:15 AM from melissaH to All Participants: lemme know if there's anything we can do to help here at zfin 01/17/2008 09:49:17 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Anyway, I have been editing the grant this week and haven't really done any OBO-Editing. 01/17/2008 09:49:31 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Thanks, melissa--I don't think there's time for any outside help, unfortunately. 01/17/2008 09:49:35 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: You know how it is; it always comes down to the wire. 01/17/2008 09:49:36 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: if you don't have any things shall we ask questions? 01/17/2008 09:49:41 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Sure. 01/17/2008 09:49:49 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I have a question about obsoletes 01/17/2008 09:49:56 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: it is a long one. 01/17/2008 09:50:05 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: you know how we add consider and replaced_by tags 01/17/2008 09:50:09 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: to obsolete terms 01/17/2008 09:50:13 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Yes 01/17/2008 09:50:21 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: and I thought that oboedit automtically generated the comment part that says 01/17/2008 09:50:37 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: to update annotations please use term [name] 01/17/2008 09:50:41 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: with id [id] 01/17/2008 09:50:52 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: but I just tired it and the comment is not autogenerated 01/17/2008 09:51:03 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: it only generates when I run the file through obo2obo 01/17/2008 09:51:09 AM from midori to All Participants: what did you do (specifically)? 01/17/2008 09:51:21 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Huh. So it sounds like it might be something obo2obo puts in? 01/17/2008 09:51:33 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I obsoleted a term and added the replaced_by tags and then I saved the file and looked at the stanza 01/17/2008 09:51:50 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: but if I run obo2obo I have to add the writecomments flag to make it happen 01/17/2008 09:51:56 AM from midori to All Participants: Jen - that's what should happen. 01/17/2008 09:52:07 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: would we not want the comment no? 01/17/2008 09:52:25 AM from midori to All Participants: Nomi- these comments result from using obo2obo with the writecommen option. 01/17/2008 09:52:29 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: yes 01/17/2008 09:52:35 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: but do we not want them then? 01/17/2008 09:53:00 AM from midori to All Participants: Jen - No, we agreed a while back that it would be redundant to have comments if we had the consider and replaced_by tags. 01/17/2008 09:53:06 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: oh okay 01/17/2008 09:53:14 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I'll be quiet then. :-) 01/17/2008 09:53:25 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Any other questions? 01/17/2008 09:53:59 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: It sounds like the 1.2-enabled obomerge is working. 01/17/2008 09:54:05 AM from melissaH to All Participants: When does Amina start should her visa go through? 01/17/2008 09:54:06 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: yes it's great thanks 01/17/2008 09:54:07 AM from midori to All Participants: The comments were a stopgap measure for the days before we had the tags; we regenerate them for the OBO v1.0 file precisely because that file doesn't have the tags ... which in turn is so the tags don't break things. 01/17/2008 09:54:17 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: The (minor) issues Jen reported with obomerge are not 1.2-specific. 01/17/2008 09:54:27 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: yes I see 01/17/2008 09:54:31 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Melissa, once Amina has the visa, she will start ASAP. 01/17/2008 09:54:49 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: the 1.2 thing is great, thanks for that Nomi. 01/17/2008 09:54:57 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: My pleasure. 01/17/2008 09:55:13 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I wish I could do more to help you guys, but Suzi has me on other projects. 01/17/2008 09:55:20 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: that's play 01/17/2008 09:55:23 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I mean okay 01/17/2008 09:55:25 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: :-) 01/17/2008 09:55:30 AM from melissaH to All Participants: i liked play better.... 01/17/2008 09:55:33 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: should we discuss testing tasks? 01/17/2008 09:55:37 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Yes 01/17/2008 09:55:39 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: so we are ready for amina? 01/17/2008 09:55:41 AM from melissaH to All Participants: yes, thanks for all you've done nomi, no worries 01/17/2008 09:55:59 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Amina will have plenty to do, don't worry about that! 01/17/2008 09:56:05 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: that's good then 01/17/2008 09:56:14 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: shoudl we co-ordinate something amongst ourselves? 01/17/2008 09:56:26 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I hope to do some more work on the user documentation soon. 01/17/2008 09:56:37 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: are there any show-stopping bugs that prevent testing? 01/17/2008 09:56:45 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Jen, I don't think it's pressing to do more systematic testing at this point, 01/17/2008 09:56:46 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: like the save mechanism or anything? 01/17/2008 09:56:49 AM from midori to All Participants: <sigh> it could be the network at home this time ... it was completely FUBAR yesterday 01/17/2008 09:56:57 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: as there are already enough bugs to keep Amina busy for months. 01/17/2008 09:57:03 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: oh ok 01/17/2008 09:57:12 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I guess we could write docs then? 01/17/2008 09:57:17 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: The problem I've noticed with the save is the one I posted to SF 01/17/2008 09:57:34 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: is there any point our doing anything about oboedit 2 just now? 01/17/2008 09:57:40 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: where the error-checking window also creates a vestigial window that steals the focus. 01/17/2008 09:57:41 AM from midori to All Participants: to the extent that we can work around the bugs, yes, I think we could document 01/17/2008 09:57:47 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: ok 01/17/2008 09:58:09 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I wonder what is missing in the docs 01/17/2008 09:58:10 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Jen, were you using OE2 for the sole purpose of testing and reporting bugs? 01/17/2008 09:58:17 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: It's not actually useful to you right now? 01/17/2008 09:58:19 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I'm not using it at all just now 01/17/2008 09:58:25 AM from midori to All Participants: I haven't been making OE2 a very high priority lately 01/17/2008 09:58:30 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: Fair enough. 01/17/2008 09:58:33 AM from melissaH to All Participants: me neither, sorry 01/17/2008 09:58:40 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I haven't got to the stage where I'm editing with it yet 01/17/2008 09:58:49 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: once I am at that stage it's much easier to test 01/17/2008 09:59:01 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: I think the testing can be a background task for you. 01/17/2008 09:59:16 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: However, I guess we need it released before we can release the regulates relationship don't we? 01/17/2008 09:59:31 AM from midori to All Participants: I do think it needs some bug-fixing, and I hope Amina will find ways to improve performance on non-state-of-the-art hardware 01/17/2008 09:59:40 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: What do you mean by "release" the regulates relationship? 01/17/2008 09:59:42 AM from midori to All Participants: Jen - I don't think so ... unless I'm missing something. 01/17/2008 10:00:00 AM from Karen to All Participants: Is OE2 required before we can release the regulates relationship? 01/17/2008 10:00:00 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: It definitely needs both bug-fixing and performance improvement, midori. 01/17/2008 10:00:00 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: it was the cross-products bit I wondered about 01/17/2008 10:00:34 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: for the intersection relationships 01/17/2008 10:00:34 AM from midori to All Participants: It'll be easier to do the cros-products in OE2, but they can be cerated and manipulated in OE1. 01/17/2008 10:00:34 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: really? 01/17/2008 10:00:34 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: ok 01/17/2008 10:00:34 AM from midori to All Participants: Try out the cross-product editor. :) 01/17/2008 10:00:34 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: does that bit work then? 01/17/2008 10:00:34 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: will do 01/17/2008 10:00:34 AM from Jen Deegan to All Participants: I thought it didn't work from what chris said 01/17/2008 10:00:37 AM from Nomi Harris to All Participants: That's why I don't think it's crucial to do more testing now.
