[Gusdev-gusdev] future ideas for WDK

[Steve F. <sfi...@pc...>]

folks-

just wanted to throw out there a couple of ideas that jonathan schug and 
i batted around yesterday for future features of the GUS Web Development 
Kit (WDK).

1. History mode offers the ability to adjust and re-do the query 
(including complex queries).  IE, offers a link that dumps the user into 
the boolean query page initialized with the values from the history 
query, including the union, intersections, etc.  The user can tweek the 
values and re-run the query.

2. An extention of the shopping cart idea that Schug has been thinking 
about:  any result set page (eg, a list of transcripts or experiments) 
allows the user to select individual elements from the set and put them 
into a "shopping cart".  There is a default shopping cart for each type 
of entity.  Furthermore, the user can give a shopping cart a name, and 
choose which one is the default.  IE, the user can have named sets of 
entities that they hand picked.  They will also show up in the history.
