Hi Robson,

I seem to be perennially working on the 1.0 release of Chado.  The
schema itself is quite stable but I'm always working on the tools to
make them handle more cases and be as stable as possible.  For the time
being, you need to get Chado from cvs; see 

  http://www.gmod.org/wiki/index.php/Chado_-_Getting_Started#Chado_From_CVS

I removed the 0.003 release from the SourceForge site because the schema
in it is out of date relative to what we've been working on for the last
year.
