Hi:

I've no idea about the DAS server, but I'm very interested in the Chado 
stuff. We're building a django application to browse a Chado database. 
It is still not completely ready, but you can take a look at:

http://bioinf.comav.upv.es/git//?p=gene_web.git;a=summary

We were thinking about showing this code in the Chado mailing list once 
completed in case anyone could be interested in using it and improving 
it. But here it is. If anyone could be interested, it is free software, 
we like AGPL, but we're open about other free software licences.
Regards,

Jose Blanca
