A look back at 2016 with Mark2Cure

by ginger

Happy New Year!!!

Thank you for contributing to Mark2Cure with your annotations, comments, questions, bug reports--and general feedback. You've made the Mark2Cure project an amazing project to work on and we are so grateful that you found us.

Many of you have been kind enough to report bugs and we are definitely trying to fix them. However, we only have one research programmer working on Mark2Cure; hence, many of these issues will take time to resolve. Our programmer will be unavailable in January, so we very much appreciate your patience in the new year. If you have programming experience and would like to help tackle some of these issues, please check out our repository on github (Mark2Cure is open source).

We have some new entity recognition (ER) missions available which you can directly access from the links below:

BiP https://mark2cure.org/group/bip1/

CLN3: https://mark2cure.org/group/CLN3/

We are working to get the relationship module to properly display available tasks again, so hopefully you'll see the queued relationship docs in your dashboard sometime in the near future.
