How to support BioLink development and access to wiki? #158

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I have been using BioLink since about 2003 for cataloging the University of 
Guam insect collection. I was delighted to hear that BL is under redevelopment 
as an open source project. Updating my existing database to version 3.0.526 was 
very straight forward. 

I have always wanted to share my catalog with collaborators via the web. But 
all my web sites are run on Linux servers which don't support the MS SQL and 
other 3rd party tools used by BL. Yesterday, it occurred to me that Amazon Web 
Services (AWS) might offer a cheap, and potentially free, hosting solution for 
BL users. Within a few hours, I was able to get BL database up and running in 
Amazon's cloud and can link to it via my BL client. I thought other users might 
be interested in this an would like to post a how-to on the project's wiki.  

I'd like to know how I can support the BL project in general. But, 
specifically, how can I get write access to your wiki?

Please keep up the good work.

All the Best,
- Aubrey

Hi Aubrey,

Thank you for your generous offer. We welcome your involvement and 
contributions.
I will add your gmail account as a collaborator to the project, and allow you 
access to create Wiki articles. 
I'll update the status of this issue to 'done' when this is complete.

With regard to what other support you might be able to provide, the most useful 
thing at this point would be to file bug reports for any issues or annoyances 
that you encounter whilst using the software, along with any suggestions for 
enhancements that you feel might benefit BioLink users.

Thanks again, 

David.
