Agenda/Chair: Heiko Dietze
Attendees:

Goal of this meeting: Extend the scope of this call to become more of a general ontology support meeting (e.g., help with using OORT, TermGenie, phenotype ontologies, etc.)

Some open questions:

• Where to announce the meetings (currently its the OBO-Edit working group mailing list)?
• Who is the targeted audience?

Bug and Feature Trackers

• OWLTools and OORT bug tracker
• OBO format reference implementation bug tracker
• TermGenie bug tracker

OBO-Edit

• OE Bug tracker
• OE Feature tracker

Fixed or newly added since last meeting

Created a new 2.3-beta 1 release. The main improvement is the option to add more dictionaries for the spell-checking. This will allow enable users to share dictionaries (e.g., in an SVN) without the need to copy and overwrite them manually in the OBO-Edit configuration folder.

Currently working on

• Testing of the new dictionary feature (Paola)
• Integrate the latest bug-fixes of the obo2owl and owl2obo conversion into OBO-Edit (ongoing)
