[GET-Editors] Help us find an easier way to contribute!

[Madeleine Price Ball]

Leon Peshkin & Carlos Cano have a tool which could make it easier for
editors to help evaluate variants: BioNotate. This tool lets a user
highlight parts of an abstract are classify them -- e.g. highlight the gene
name and classify as "gene", or highlight a dbSNP ID and classify it as
"variant". Leon got in touch with us and, after some discussion and
suggestions on my part, Carlos put together some mock-ups of what it could
look like:

http://genome2.ugr.es/bionotate_SNP4/
(Simpler, only allows you to pick one type of evidence for an abstract)

http://genome2.ugr.es/bionotate_SNP5/
(More buttons, allows you to pick more than one type of evidence)

If you reload the page it will randomly show another abstract, so you can
see a variety of abstracts this might be used for.

We really want to hear some feedback -- from people who haven't edited much
especially, because we hope that this tool will help you contribute! Let us
know what you think about these. Is this clear or confusing? What do you
think could be done to make this easier to do? Is there a feature that would
be good or a correction to the tool that would improve it?

   Thanks!
      Madeleine
