Hi, maybe as a way to promote BOGAS online and to make sure we don't get called BOGUS too many times, isn't it time to get a undeniably great new acronym or name for this online annotation system? The criteria: - good google hits for the word only (extra points for unique one word hits!) - not easy to rephrase into something ludicrous The best acronym I've found so far is: - BABES: Bioinformatics Annotation and Browsing Euhm System (aka Boobs And Beer Equals) (this would be so great to mention on a resume or a tshirt: I work for BABES. It beats 'I work for Lieven' any day ;)) - BOA: Bioinformatics Online Annotation (and we get a kewl logo too! (probably a snake strangling the PLAZA logo?)) And some I found back as a suggestion in 2007: - (bio)SOA: System for Online Annotation (Works great for a tshirt again: I work with SOA) (We would directly have a slogan: "Because annotating is so contagious") - OAPS (Online Annotation Portal System: "OAPS! Let's correct it") - biongeant (BIoinformatics ONline GEnome ANnotation sysTem) (sound very good in French, no?) - O!Gant (Online! Genome ANnot sysTem. And also a clever way to promote Gent. (And O!Zwijnaarde doesn't really sound right)) - iAnnot (just to step onto the web 2.0 iPod generation train) Does anyone have any other contributions? I can gather all responses and votes to see if one sticks out.. -Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau@ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "Never get out of the boat" -- Chef, APN
