w3dna web progress
« on: December 22, 2008, 10:59:38 am »
Hi Xiangjun,

You may take a look at the lately updated w3dna web server:

http://w3dna.rutgers.edu

There, some of functions are under building up therefore may not working. But you can review the general framework. And I will be working on writing documents such as About and Tutorial. I would like to invite you to have inputs on this server, such as suggestion, writings for the "About" section, etc.

P.S. Wilma and I are working on writing a proposal letter to the editor, which should be sent out at the end of this month.

Thanks.

Guohui

Hi Guohui,

The new site is really shaping up, especially 'blocview' is working -- which means the web-environment is set up correctly now.

At this stage, I think you could focus on getting fundamentals done, leaving the fancy parts later. Some random thoughts:
  • Put site logo at the top-left, with text in the right
  • Possible title text could be: w3DNA -- a web-interface to (commonly used functionality of?) the 3DNA software package for (the analysis, rebuilding and visualization of?) three-dimensional nucleic acid structures
  • Give the three sections "Analysis" ... a different font/size; using style-sheet to get rid of the link-underline
  • In fiber models section, I do not think we should provide "Mixing form (A, B, C, Z)": this is a section for (experimental) fiber-based models ONLY.
  • Again, in fiber models section, make the selection list more specific and informative by providing more information regarding each model, instead of the generic "Model-xx form fiber". Run 'fiber -m' to see the detailed info.
That's it for now, more to follow later on.
