Hi Greg, I'm not too sure of the best way to make these available (perhaps showing by ignorance of the way Galaxy handles such databases in the genomics world).
We've got a set of commandline tools which support protk-toolshed https://bitbucket.org/iracooke/protk And included among these is a tool "manage_db" which makes it relatively easy to setup a database for proteomics .. and then update it regularly. The tools also support using a FASTA file in your history as a database for a proteomics search. We need quite a large variety of custom databases (eg subsets of Swissprot for different taxa) because some search engines (eg X!Tandem) can't create those subsets on the fly .. and because we need decoys embedded in the database files. With regards to cloudman ... we are definitely keen to get an instance up and running. At the moment it takes quite a bit of work to properly configure all the components to make this work well ... so a prebuilt instance would be great. Not sure if that answers your question ... but if there is something we could do to improve the integration of our tools into Galaxy I'd be happy to try it.
