Cell cycle arrest
obsolete or merge? Here are the terms w/ 'cell cycle arrest' in name or synonym:

Definition of 'cellular' in GO terms
'Cellular' as we use it in GO is supposed to be an indication of granularity; 'cellular' terms are meant to represent processes occurring at the level of a cell, as opposed to a tissue or whole organism. But the ontology is not always consistent in this regard (see this SF item: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3459403&group_id=36855&atid=440764). We need to come up with a definition for cellular - and use it consistently.

Follow-up: Protein complexes

We have 1469 descendants of protein complex
We have a capable_of definition for 315 of these in x-complex.obo (ready to be moved into gene_ontology_xp_write, then soon the main GO)
The remaining 1154 don't have obvious capable_of definitions from text parsing using MF and BP. Scanning the list it seems to be that many of these have to be defined compositionally. So much for our purism...
Follow-up: Protein/glycoprotein/lipoprotein terms in ChEBI
Harold and Judy to report (see background here: http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Ontology_meeting_2013-02-7#Protein.2Fglycoprotein.2Flipoprotein_terms_in_ChEBI)
SF upgrade
What do we think?
Advantages: mark-up for threads, figures can be embedded etc. Actively maintained (SF not fixing bugs in current tracker) Better handling of attachments
Disadvantages: Email configuration options annoying Long threads go over multiple pages Searching remains rubbish
