Interesting project! Can you add a bit of documentation? #1

After you comment in the FindFungi repo I looked at your repo's. Interesting work! Are you working on a web interface for snakemake? For metagenomics data? What is the relation with the mgms repo?

I am working with metagenomics data a lot and with Snakemake. Can you explain a bit of the goal of this project and a bit of documentation on how to run things? If appreciated, I can see if I can contribute because it seems to fit perfectly with our work.

Hi! This thing is under HEAVY development, and I'm working alone, so documentation is not a priority now. Asshole is used as a wrapper around the actual snakemake pipeline (assnake), it handles task requests, serialization of results and sending it back to a client, and provides info about what you can do.

MGMS (Metagenomics Data Management System) is designed to collect and store meta-data about Sample Sources (Human Fecals, Pond, Soil etc) and Actual Samples, it stores info about your sequencing runs and libraries. It also communicates with ASSHOLE (this repo) to request results (taxa/functional annotation, assembly, and so on) and visualizes the results.

Fully understand that is work in progress. Thanks to make it already open in this stage and for explaining what the goal is of the repo's. With this description I have to think of Qiita (https://qiita.ucsd.edu/), do you know it? But that one does not have a snakemake backend.
