It is likely too late to submit an official tutorial/workshop for ISMB.
Abstracts were due 10 Jan 99; full proposals are due 5 Feb 99. I think 
a more informal hands-on, how-to session would be useful. Georg
Fuellen mentioned the possibility to one of the ISMB-99 organizers,
but I don't know if he submitted anything officially.

If you guys want to get something together collaboratively and submit
before 5 Feb, I'd be willing to help out.
