[Bioperl-l] Newbie question regarding the BioPerl Archive

[Elizabeth Bowen]

It sounds like the developers already have their hands full for a while.  (Understatement?!?) But when things settle down a little, can I hedge a newbie suggestion?  (This may be something that could help out all of the potential newbie BioPerl people from the O'Reilly conference as well.)

I was delighted to find out that there was a Bioperl archive page:  http://bio.perl.org/pipermail/bioperl-l/

Is there some way to search for a topic in the archive without having to download it in its entirety or read through subjects for each month of the archive?  I don't have enough space to download it and it is a chore to go through each month searching for a needle in a haystack.

Also, is there an FAQ page for Bioperl?

Sorry to add more to your plate.  I just would just like to be able to solve a lot of my problems due to inexperience with Bioperl without taking up anyone's time on the list.  I'll bet a lot of other newbies feel somewhat self-conscious about that too.

Thanks so much!
Elizabeth Bowen
