Hello all,
We are wondering if it is possible to activate anonymous use of the workflows and the visualization (trackster) features of Galaxy, somehow?
This is a strict requirement for the acceptance of our new paper in a specific journal.
Hack solutions are also welcome!
Thanks, Sveinung
I'd also been been worried about a similar requirement to ensure reviewers could have anonymous access to software run as a service. In that case even providing dummy accounts to the reviewers might not have been allowed (since the administrator could easily 'spy' on what the reviewers did or didn't try). Given this potential barrier to publishing a paper using or extending Galaxy, I would hope extending Galaxy so that users can choose to share a workflow (or visualization) with anyone - even an anonymous user - would be a priority. Is there a trello issue on this? Searching there isn't very intuitive to me... http://galaxyproject.org/trello Thanks, Peter
