• Interacting with the store
  • Upload, re-upload a track
  • Get track revision history
  • Minimal search functionality: GBrowse

• Submit a job (batch of jobs?) to pre-layout a track on lots of different zoom levels. Ping me when done
  • Rules to make individual tiles once layout is complete...

Less sure about this one now:

• Submit a "classic GBrowse" page rendering job. Specify co-ordinates, zoom level, tracks, everything. Acknowledge that job is pending; give me a callback when job is finished
  • Allow me to check the job status (pending/running/done/etc) or modify/delete the job parameters while it is pending
