Data Hub Feedback

In August of 2011, we released the new Data Hub feature. In order to gather feedback from users, we created a survey. From mid-November 2011 through mid-January 2012, we provided a link from the hgHubConnect CGI on the RR to that survey. 22 users answered. Their answers are in this file: File:DataHubSurvey2011.pdf.

How to work with the 'versioned' track hub settings
What these mean for engineers:
1) Since every trackDb setting in the doc is now assigned a level (described in the intro of the trackDbHub doc)...
-> When you add a new setting, you will need to set it to 'level-new'.
Next time the doc is versioned, we will evaluate the new settings for assignment to a level.
2) As the doc is now parsed by hubCheck to verify settings...
-> After adding a setting to the doc, you will need to run 'hubCheck -settings' to see if your addition is formatted correctly.
To list all v1 settings (with levels) on genome-test, run
hubCheck -settings -test
The README.txt in the trackDb docs dir (and below) has been extended to include these steps. The new bits are in item #3.
$ cat ~kent/src/hg/htdocs/goldenPath/help/trackDb/README.txt
To add a new statement to the trackDb documentation: 1. Add your statement documentation to trackDbLibrary.shtml 2. Add references to your statement to trackDbDoc.html 3. If intended for hubs: * Add to the latest trackDbHub doc (e.g. trackDbHub.v1.html), with support level 'new'. (see intro of the doc for explanation of support levels). * Use hubCheck to verify the doc entry is properly formatted: % make % hubCheck -settings \ -version=http://hgwdev-<user>/goldenPath/help/trackDb/trackDbHub.v1.html OR % make alpha % hubCheck -settings -test - See the long comment at the top of trackDbLibrary.shtml for detailshead -n 125 ~kent/src/hg/htdocs/goldenPath/help/trackDb/trackDbLibrary.shtml
