[Biojava-dev] new to the list

[Bernd Jagla]

Hi there,

I am new to the list and would very much like to contribute some of my concepts to the biojava project, if they are needed and not already implemented.....
Well, I found the archives but am reluctant to look through all months. 

Thus, my first question is:
Is there a searchable version of the mailing list?

and what I am actually looking for are IDEs you guys use to develop biojava. 
what projects are being worked on?
Where does all this go within the next year or five years?

Thanks a lot.

Bernd
