Agreed. I sent the log out along with an invitation for everyone to join
in. Sorry it came out so late, bioinformatics.org was down last night I
guess.

Can we continue the whole "family" analogy and call the middle-BL the
"grandma BL" (GBL) if we choose to have such a thing? This makes it seem
clearer in my mind.

I agree that we will need to have some kind of central BL that the DL
communicates with. If there will be multiple MBLs (which it seemed like
the way the discussion was heading) then I agree that we need something
central to which the DL always communicates. I hope I am understanding
the discussion so far :-)
