RE: [Myexperiment-discuss] your wishlist for myExperiment?

[David De Roure]

Hi - you can run scripts through Taverna's "execute local command processor" 
and in time there could be more direct support for a number of scripting 
languages.  This raises an important point for our myExperiment discussion i.e. 
how you would share those scripts on myExperiment - at the moment they can go 
in packs, and we've talked previously about sharing of beans.  We'll look at 
this on Friday - thanks.

Hi Dave.

I don't know if it's been implemented yet, but it what has kept me
from using Taverna, is that you can't plug in custom scripts. Would it
be possible to add functionality to the tool where you plugin any
local script (perl, ruby, python) that takes STDIN and writes to
STDOUT? There are the Beans, but as a non-Java person that is just too
much of a step to take.

It's true that this undermines the idea of provenance a bit. But (a)
some people (like myself) just want to use Taverna locally at the
moment, and (b) those custom scripts could e.g. be made public as
well.

Thanks,
jan.
