That's fine.  I just wanted to note that acknowledgement that GI is
providing the resources is fine, but I would be unhappy if GI advertised
or appeared to be claiming ownership incommensuarate with its
contribution.  

In the (wonderful) case that they start large-scale development of bioperl
code as you suggest might happen, then certainly GI should be clearly
acknowledged!

I think there must be some variety of the annoying "dumb mistake" here --
the sort which you can stare at a hundred times and never see, but which
is noticed immediately when someone looks over your shoulder.  Want to put
the code code on your site and see if I can see any "obvious" problems?
