[Go] sporulation rearrangement

[Maria Costanzo]

Hi Chris,

I don't think it's likely that SGD will resurrect this project.  There 
wasn't very much interest from the fungal community, and the project is 
very peripheral to our goals (yeast don't have much anatomy!) so we 
would not pick it up again without a strong request from fungal 
scientists who would be willing to help with the scientific content. 
We'd be happy to hand it over to another group, if anyone is interested 
in pursuing it.

Maria
