From Bioinformatics.Org Wiki
The following is a list of Bioinformatics.Org's services available to group/project members (those involved in a registered project):
Contents |
[edit] Web server
Apache HTTP Server, with Wiki, PHP and CGI support. More...
[edit] Databases
Your shell account and Web server have access to your own MySQL database (available upon request to Bioinformatics.Org system administrators).
[edit] Email account
If you are a member of a group/project, you are issued a "virtual" e-mail address (username@bioinformatics.org), which is initially forwarded to your real email address. And for all members of the Organization, visitors can contact you via web-based email interface.
If forwarding is disabled, your email messages may be accessed via POPS and IMAPS. Custom spam filters may also be created.
[edit] Mailing lists (public & private)
The Mailman mailing list manager is available for your mailing lists.
