[Biojava-dev] biojava wikimedia based home page

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

Hi all -

The OBF is moving several of it's projects homepages to wikimedia based 
systems. There is a possibility that biojava will move to use this system 
too. I think this is a great way to establish a community based biojava 
web presence. The current home page suffers from the problem that only a 
few people can access and update it which creates a large burden and means 
it sometimes gets out of date. More hands will make things easier. The new 
look bioperl page is a great example of what can be done 
(www.bioperl.org).

Before it is ready for prime-time some work needs to be done to copy 
content over from the current biojava site. We would like to ask for any 
volunteers who have some experience with Wikimedia who could help out.

Please reply to me or to the list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Mark
