Galaxy public instances: data and job quotas


User data and job quota limits are now implemented at the public Galaxy Test instance http://test.g2.bx.psu.edu:

http://galaxyproject.org/Test#Quotas


While no quotas are currently implemented at the public Galaxy Main instance http://usegalaxy.org, we do ask that users stay within certain usage limits:
