[galaxy-dev] Giardine et al Galaxy paper (2005)

Hi everyone The Galaxy system as described in Belinda Giardine et al's 2005 Genome Research paper ("Galaxy: A platform for interactive large-scale genome analysis") appears to be radically different from the current Galaxy, at least in its technical specification. The paper mentions a C core spoken to by a Perl-based web user interface (referred to as the History User Interface). The co-authors on the paper are, however, familiar names from the current Galaxy team. Was this paper describing something in the pre-history of current Galaxy (it sounds rather like the current History but without workflows and of course implemented on a different platform)? Peter
