[Richard Smith]

Alex,
I hope Tom's e-mail cleared up a few issues.  Let us know how you
get on.  I'm afraid you are the first group to attempt to set up
InterMine/FlyMine externally but we will do our best to help.

As Tom says all documentation that is in the docbook XML files is
available as pages on the www.intermine.org website.  Some of it
is, however, out of date.  We also have an internal wiki (and bug
tracking system) that has some additional documentation and more
that we will added as soon as possible.

Do you usually access from the same IP address?  If so we can set
up access to the wiki from that address.

It may help us if we knew a bit more about your plans.  From my
discussion with David it sounds like you would be using the
FlyMine data model and adding additional data.  Do you know at
this stage what types of data you hope to include?

Regards,
Richard.
