Toplevel issue: For deploy!

[tanaes]

Top level issue meant to roundup all the things we need to address prior to deploy.

It think if we address all of these things, we should have a deployable interface! I've tried to group issues by type, and listed roughly in order of priority.

Things that (may) require changes to database schema or definition

• Issue update sample sheet generation to handle project shortname #204: adding 'project shortname' field
  We are using a consistent 'project shortname' that incorporates the Qiita ID so that data
  can be automatically transferred to a project directory on demux. Needs to be in DB. easy
• Issue "stress_test" command for tester.py suggests server side issues with scalability #199: performance enhancement
  Currently experiencing large slowdowns with > a few hundred plates in DB. hard?
  Would also be good to look at how sample names (blanks, and concentrations) are queried for plates, for example see the changes in Interface to view previous quantifications #229

Bug fixes

• Issue Fix amplicon quantification and pooling #203: Fix amplicon quantification and pooling
  Currently the amplicon pooling isn't sensible. WIP.
• Issue Recomputing pooling values creates overlapping plots #206: Pooling display updating
  Currently, recomputing pooling leads to overlapping duplicate plot elements

Important feature additions

• Issues Project ID Prepending #209 We scan barcodes for plating samples with AGP. The scanner doesn't include
  the prepended study number, so doesn't match up to the database. Should not display study
  # (Project ID Prepending #209).
• Issue Cells with lots of text #210: plating and naming samples May also help with running out of room in
  cells (Cells with lots of text #210) easy
• Issue Fixes to quantify plates interface #195: quantify plate interface
  Plate quantification values need to be able to retrieved and viewed, and also updatable.
• Issue Plates > Normalize gDNA Plates arbitrarily selects which quantification to use #214: choose a quantification
  There's no way to distinguish between or choose a quantification for a plate when displaying or
  normalizaing.
• Issue Need way to create a gDNA plate without having started from plating samples #168: create DNA plate w/o extraction
  Need a sensible way to process already-extracted DNA from collaborators
• Issue Create an interface that, given a plate, provides its ancestry and descendency #77: plate history
  Need to be able to see the upstream and downstream steps of a plate
• Issue Construct / update prep info? #219: prep info
  Need to be able to export a Qiita-compatible prep info file once a sequencing run is made with
  all the nice info we've stored in the db

@tanaes, thanks for putting this together, this is very helpful!
