This is a beautiful idea, Dawei. The course is run *by the members* *for
the members* and Alan and I and the others are here to help. Within
limits, you can do anything that seems reasonable. I hope that other
members read this , and if they think it is a good idea, I'm sure they
will contact you.

Alan did this! I don't think there was anything special - he
just chose 250 proteins! (BTW - if anyone has a protein without
coordinates or broken in some major way, we'll give you a new one!)

This is a nice idea. I suggest we wait a little while until
people are familiar with the MOO and their groups (some people have only
just found their group). I think a really nive idea would be to build a
hierarchy of rooms based on a classification like this.!

This is a very nice idea. You can then find who you are
homologous to!
BTW WE ARE INTENDING TO USE THE 4-LETTER CODES FOR COURSE ADMIN.
I SHALL SHORTLY POST A FEEDBACK FORM WHERE COURSE MEMBERS CAN TELL US HOW
THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING ON. THE UNIQUE ID WILL BE THE PROTEIN CODE, SO
PLEASE DON'T CHANGE IT!!! Also, we may suggest you use them as
verification codes against your e-mails.
