[Gmod-ajax] JBrowse progress, alpha release soon

[Mitch S. <mit...@be...>]

Wow, it's been a while since we've had any list activity.  I guess we 
haven't really discussed JBrowse (the new name for our AJAX genome 
browser) on the list, so here's a brief summary of what we've implemented:

* getting feature data out of Bio::DasI and GFF files
* smooth panning/zooming from whole chromosome (refseq) to individual bases
* navigating directly to a given location
* remembering your location/zoom with cookies
* turning tracks on and off by dragging and dropping them
* subfeatures
* name/ID search
* quantitative (wiggle) tracks

If you haven't looked at the demo in a while, I encourage you to check 
it out:
http://genome.biowiki.org/

I think the next steps are:
* real sequence
* some actual documentation

Those should be done soon; after that we'll put out an alpha release.
