Re: [Myexperiment-discuss] URLs and empty workflows

[Paul Fisher]

I thought about that. So, I was thinking of a different mechanism using 
some sort of id or name, and then a version number after that.
E.g.

   http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows/paul_fisher/qtl_kegg/3

where the persons name is included in the url, then a short name for the 
url, then the version number.
I don't know if this is sensible or not. I do know it would be a 
re-write of a lot of code though, and would piss a lot of people off.

From my view though, it would let me know who's the workflow was, the 
name of the workflow, and the version.

Just a thought. Thanks for the response.

Paul.
