Creation of resources listing all the tools and their metadata relevant to your community
Abstract
Galaxy offers thousands of tools. They are developed across various GitHub repositories. Furthermore, Galaxy also embraces granular implementation of software tools as sub-modules. In practice, this means that tool suites are separated into Galaxy tools, also known as wrappers, that capture their component operations. Some key examples of suites include Mothur and OpenMS, which translate to tens and even hundreds of Galaxy tools.
