All,

I am proud to introduce Xin 'David' Shuai, my student for the Google  
Summer of Code 2009, to the Open Bioinformatics community.  David's  
project centers on developing SWIG-based bindings to libsequence (a  
population genetics library) for the BioLib project:

Besides myself, David will be co-mentored by Mark Jensen and Pjotr  
Prins.

As the BioLib project centers on creating common, maintainable SWIG- 
based bindings to popular bioinformatics libraries for the various  
Bio* toolkits, we will likely need input from the various Open Bio  
communities at various stages in the project.  At this time, David's  
initial plans are to develop and test libsequence bindings for Perl  
and Python.

David's proposal and project plan are available here:

Congratulations David, and welcome to the Open-Bio community!

Sincerely,

Christopher Fields
