[Biojava-dev] graphics code and more in biojava

[Johan Henriksson]

Hello!
I'm doing bioinformatics in java and have gotten to the point where I have
more in-house code than I find healthy; so my aim is to slowly move toward
using biojava, and to push as much of my code into biojava itself. (I met
Andreas recently to discuss biojava, but I bring it here instead; hello!)
Obviously, it will need plenty of cleaning before it's good enough for
everyone else to use. The first question that comes to mind is then: in what
state does it have to be to be considered for inclusion? I see a temptation
to include as much as possible but if the code finds too few users, it might
just add a maintenance burden. So, where is the cut-off?

More substantially, I recently wrote a piece of code to render chromosome
maps and generate PDFs. I think this kind of code would be of common use;
should I try and prepare a submission?
