How to Comment
To view/add comments, click on any of 'Comment' links below. By adding your ideas to the Wiki directly, we can more easily organize everyone's ideas, and keep clear records. Be sure to include today's date and your name for each comment. Here is an example to get things started: ["/Comment"].
Try to keep your comments as concrete and constructive as possible. For example, if you find a part of the RFC makes no sense, please say so, but don't stop there. Take the extra step and propose alternatives.
Proposal
Code Layering - for the purpose of enabling a command layer (headless mode) and different front ends (e.g., web-based or SVG). Some may see this as refactoring, but I think we can identify critical feature-based goals that derive from code layering that can be more readily justified as project aims that are typically expected to produce something "new".
Use Cases
Headless Mode: Something we talked about having for a while. Do people have particular projects that would benefit from this?
Web-based Front Ends: there is evolutionary pressure for software these days to be more web-based (versus stand-alone or even web start). Can we come up with specific projects that would make use of this?
GenMAPP-CS funding is starting in August and we plan to hire someone to work on this sort of development in Cytoscape to expand the client options.
WikiPathways.org might be able to embed a special front end of cytoscape for advanced pathway analysis
