<div dir="ltr">Dear BioPerl developers,<br><br>I intend to share & (eventually) publish a suite of bioperl-based command-line utilities my lab has developed & found very useful in the past 10 years:<br><br><a href="http://diverge.hunter.cuny.edu/labwiki/Bioutils">http://diverge.hunter.cuny.edu/labwiki/Bioutils</a><br><br>Hilmar encouraged me to get some feedback & advice from the bioperl-L on how to package and release it properly.<br><br>My specific questions are:<br><br>1. While it goes naturally with bioperl releases, but I would like it to be more exposed than hidden inside the bp-scripts folder. Do you think these utilities are useful enough to be housed in a separate folder (e.g., "bputils") by itself? I have a developer's account but I haven't commit anything for years.<br><br>2. How to make it sustainable (and attract new developers) since we are constantly revising and adding methods. It would be great if become a part of bioperl-live.<br><br>Any advice and facilitation will be appreciated!<br><br>Thanks,<br>-- <br>Weigang Qiu, Ph.D. <br>Department of Biological Sciences<br>Hunter College of the City University of New York<br>695 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10065<br>Office: 1-212-772-5296 (Room 839 Hunter North Building)<br>Lab: 1-212-772-5721 (Room 830 Hunter North Building)<br>Web:<a href="http://diverge.hunter.cuny.edu/labwiki/">http://diverge.hunter.cuny.edu/labwiki/</a><br><div class="gmail_signature"><br></div>
