[BioC] Is anyone developing an extensible Galaxy-like interface for Bioconductor?

[Ross Lazarus]

Mark, just to set the record straight; your statement about lack of 
persistence for Galaxy histories applies *only* to anonymous (non-logged 
in) users.

Galaxy histories are unlimited in number, and are *permanent* (at least 
until the main site runs out of disk space) for logged in users. 
Accounts are free for the taking. Please register an account for 
yourself one and try it - create and name a couple of histories, run 
some tools in each one, logout and return.

It's one of the many framework features that Galaxy pioneered years ago 
and I'm sure the Galaxy developers are sincerely flattered to see it 
imitated in other frameworks :)
