From jason.stajich at duke.edu Tue Jan 24 16:44:34 2006 From: jason.stajich at duke.edu (Jason Stajich) Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 16:44:34 -0500 Subject: [Bioperl-announce-l] new mailing list server Message-ID: <50E14815-266E-4ACB-8E6E-293C9EB33476@duke.edu> Chris Dagdigian has switched our mailing lists over to a new server to upgrade us to newer hardware. In the switch the default mailing list the server name is 'lists.open-bio.org' instead of 'portal.open- bio.org'. That should be the only change you should notice at the bottom of your mails. All mail should get delivered to any of those addresses (although @bioperl.org is preferred). We hope this changeover will help improve the performance and scalability of our mail and webservices. We also will aim to move the developer read-write CVS server to a new machine in the coming weeks. We hope this will only be a minor inconvenience but will allow us to move to a more recent operating system and larger disk space. If you have questions or concerns they can be directed to support AT open-bio.org -jason -- Jason Stajich Duke University http://www.duke.edu/~jes12 From jason.stajich at duke.edu Tue Jan 24 22:31:38 2006 From: jason.stajich at duke.edu (Jason Stajich) Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 22:31:38 -0500 Subject: [Bioperl-announce-l] new website launched Message-ID: <79628361-F026-461F-A156-0B6810DB0B52@duke.edu> I am pleased to announce the release of a new website for BioPerl. The site is based on the mediawiki software that was developed for the wikipedia project. We intend the site to be a place for community input on documentation and design for the BioPerl project. There is also a fair amount of documentation started surrounding bioinformatics tools and techniques applicable to using BioPerl and some of the authors who created these resources. The website continues to be at the URL http://www.bioperl.org. The DNS updates may take up to 24 hours to reach everyone. The initial content of the site is result of the work of myself, Mauricio Herrera Cuadra, Brian Osborne, and Torsten Seemann. We encourage you to contribute to the site's content by signing up for an account. There are several guides for style of the site and how to link to Modules for example which can contain additional information from the POD http://bioperl.org/wiki/Module:Bio::SeqIO You'll notice that many of the paths have changed but the DIST and SRC continues to be available at http://bioperl.org/DIST and http:// bioperl.org/SRC. The HOWTOs are now available from http:// bioperl.org/wiki/HOWTOs The FAQ is available at http://bioperl.org/wiki/FAQ and I encourage you to add your questions to it so they can be properly archived and addressed. We also have initiated a News site for Bioperl for posting announcements regarding development and software. I would like to see if there are volunteers to post weekly or monthly summaries of mailing list traffic and development. http://www.bioperl.org/news/ Jason Stajich on behalf of Mauricio Herrera Cuadra, Brian Osborne, Torsten Seemann. -- Jason Stajich Duke University http://www.duke.edu/~jes12 From jason.stajich at duke.edu Tue Jan 24 21:44:34 2006 From: jason.stajich at duke.edu (Jason Stajich) Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 16:44:34 -0500 Subject: [Bioperl-announce-l] new mailing list server Message-ID: <50E14815-266E-4ACB-8E6E-293C9EB33476@duke.edu> Chris Dagdigian has switched our mailing lists over to a new server to upgrade us to newer hardware.
