James, Yes, I think discovery is the main problem, and your suggestion would help. I suppose having conventions would also help discovery and understanding in general, but that is difficult to achieve in a community-based project. Todd On 10/30/2012 8:00 AM, James Taylor wrote:

We've developed a large number of tools to allow my lab to conduct phylogenetic analyses in Galaxy. Inspired by the mothur package in Galaxy, which is all in one repo, I made the decision to add all our related tools to 1 repo on the tool shed. However, it seems that makes individual tools like raxml difficult to find for other users. Todd, I prefer bundling related tools (and other assets) in repositories.
If the problem is discovery perhaps we can fix this in the toolshed UI by adding the ability to browse for tools directly in addition to browsing for repositories? ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
