[OOD-users] Galaxy

[Shawn Doughty]

Eric,

You make some very good points regarding shared history and such. Our
Galaxy instance has a web front-end, uses postgres and the front-end sends
most of the computes to the HPC cluster so it scales pretty well. Mostly
I'm thinking (at this point) of a way to share login credentials so people
only see the ondemand interface, click a Galaxy button and then
automatically login to Galaxy. They don't get redirected and they don't see
any other URL.   This would also be useful for something like WebMO.

I do have a user who has expressed interest in an ondemand version of
galaxy just for their own use but I have to look at the use case for the
99% first.

Happy to help out or test anything.
