[ome-users] Assign Instrument

[Josiah Johnston]

Currently there is no good way of doing bulk annotation in the web  
interface. I have advocated for this feature in the past, but failed to  
outline a solid use case. Lacking that, it got dropped. Now that the  
request comes from a biologist who uses the system (e.g. you), it will  
certainly be added to the to-do list for the Web UI.

The closest piece of software we currently have for this is the  
spreadsheet importer. I twiddled with Ilya's Excel client, the Web UI,  
and the spreadsheet importer today. It's easy to use, and directions  
are included.

Tell me what you think.
