Awesome! 

One concern we have is lumping all NLP tools into a single category; are sub-categories (and sub-sub-categories) possible?  However, we can start with this and see what we need later.

Cheers,
Keith

Dear Keith,

I have created 'NLP' category at https://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu for you to test out the Tool Shed environment.

Unless your tools are proprietary I strongly recommend using the Main Tool Shed at https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu for their publishing and distribution. Let me know when you are ready with the tools and I will create the category for you in there.

We happily welcome every tool contribution to Galaxy! Thank you for it.

Martin, Galaxy Team

Hi Keith,

the Galaxy team can add new categories to the Tool Shed very easily and
such a mail is exactly the way to go. As soon as the Galaxy teams has
added the category you can use tools like planemo to upload all your
tools at once.

Looking forward to see NLP tools in Galaxy and the Main TS! Awesome!
