[Brickit] BrickIt 0.2 released

[Raik G. <rai...@cr...>]

Hi all,

the BrickIt development team (currently consisting of: me) proudly presents a 
new release of the portable biobrick management web server for your institute or 
garage:
http://brickit.wiki.sourceforge.net/

BrickIt 0.2 constitutes a major overhaul. Both data model and user interface 
have seen a lot of improvements and the underlying python module has been 
refactured to better accommodate future development. There are also several new 
features: At last, it is possible to compose Biobricks from other Biobricks, 
Sequencing data can be added to samples, and some more...

Please check out the detailed release notes:

The VMBrickit virtual machine has been updated to 0.2 and Ubuntu 8.04 and is 
available for download:

I also hope to have a demo web server up and running soon -- stay tuned.

As most of you know, this is only a tiny side project and doesn't receive as 
much of my time as it would deserve. In fact, the next months won't give me much 
chance to push things further. Ironically, we are now at a point where one could 
start putting the real fun stuff in -- Biobrick bug-tracking, sequencing 
analysis, assembly project management, Biobrick relations, you name it.
In other words, a little of *your* time can make a real difference...

Good night and Good luck!
Raik
