cromwell page doesn't mention PROOF server

Open jayoung opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

Hi there,

I was trying to tell someone today about running WDLs at the Hutch and the first page we found was this one - https://sciwiki.fredhutch.org/compdemos/Cromwell/

At first I thought it didn't even mention the PROOF shiny app/server, which seemed like a big omission. But then I realized it does have a link just using an older URL cromwellapp.fredhutch.org that forwards to PROOF.

So two suggestions:

  1. I think it'd help the user find relevant resources if the PROOF server were linked more explicitly on that Cromwell page we landed on.
  2. Also would be good to link to this other page I found with a separate search, on using PROOF https://sciwiki.fredhutch.org/datascience/proof/

Thanks!

also during that same conversation I couldn't remember the name of the public repo with lots of ready-to-go WDL scripts.

Finally just found what I was looking for - https://github.com/getwilds/wilds-wdl-library

I think it's worth an explicit description of what that is - I only found the link because I'd hear the WILDS acronym before and saw it - if I hadn't know that's what it was called, I don't think I would have understood how useful it is.

I say this lovingly - I find this a general problem: y'all really love your cute acronyms but I can never remember what any of them are! New users need it all spelled out with recognizable words, not acronyms

thanks!

Janet
