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

[Linde, A.E.]

Hi Dave,

I’d ike to reprise my previous suggestion that myExperiment abstract the types of objects stored with specialist processing for each object being provided by addins: so workflows are just one type of object for which the myExperiment team writes the addin but customisers can provide their own addins (eg I could write one to handle Queries for astronomers). Further, the tabs for the myExperiment interface can be set to deal with one or more types of object so the current implementation of myexperiment.org would set its tabs to be Workflows, Packs and Files, the first two having addins written for them and the latter being a standard catch-all (and Spacebook might have Sources, Queries, Packs and Files, using custom addins for queries and sources, and the myExperiment addin for packs).

I think this will make myExperiment much more useful to outside developers and would position the product as the premier VRE baseline software.

Cheers,
Tony.
