I've noticed that the new Taverna Server brings a sort of Web Gui called server demonstrator interface.
Yes. It's an almost-trivial interface so that people aren't left with a bare-bones webapp that just talks XML. We know that it is tremendously limited – we know it doesn't even expose half of what the first version of the server can do – but it does make things look so much better. :-)
I am wondering if any one is planning on developing a WebGUI interface for Taverna using the Oryx-editor system http://bpt.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/Oryx I was thinking on some WebGUI interface that would generate a t2flow and then sending it to the server
Now that would be cool. However:
1) We've not got any plan to develop that style of interface ourselves.
Now let me be clear, this not for lack of its merit at all, just
there's an infinite number of things that can be done and we can
only chase a few of them. But we *really* want to support anyone
who is doing such things in the future; our vision is of Taverna
Server being a core workflow component, but not a whole solution to
everything in itself.
2) We're also interested in doing a SCUFL2 (well, actually we're a
fair way into cooking it up; "interested" is rather mild) which
should be easier than T2flow for third-party code to generate.
3) The server's going to change a fair bit. For example, you'll *need*
to be able to handle SSL connections to work with it in the future
(we didn't do them in the first version simply because we wanted to
get it into people's hands sooner).
In short, there's a few things already in the pipeline which will cause
important changes, and no one group can chase up every promising lead,
but we *adore* the idea of growing the ecosystem out wider. If that's
what you're wanting to work on, I'm sure we'll give our blessing and
help as much as we have resources to.
