Public Beta period of new FaceBase2 Site (08 June 2015)
We have now opened up the beta version of the new FaceBase2 site to the public and are encouraging users far and wide to kick the tires and help us make the new Data Browser even better.
The FaceBase2 Hub is rolling out a new version of the FaceBase site that is scheduled to replace the current site on Wednesday, July 1st. Note that logins for www.facebase.org will not work on the new site and you will need to sign up for a new account.
Please start using the new Data Browser. We ask that you do two things:
- Kick the tires a bit and contribute feedback on this form: https://goo.gl/forms/f30sfheh4H
- Sign up for your new FaceBase user account: https://accounts.facebase.org/SignIn#step=signup
Note that we will be continuing to update the beta site as we receive feedback and keep porting information from the old site to the new site.
Stay tuned for more information!
Thank you, FaceBase 2 Hub Coordinating Center
