[Bioperl-l] bioperl development

[Nathan Haigh]

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting any sort of move, I was thinking more of just implementing similar tools that would allow developers to
better organise and delegate tasks to other developers/users. This way, people who would like to help could view a list of tasks
that they would like to take part in.

I just thought that the example of sourceforge towards the development of open-source software by organising and coordinating effort
from project admin/developers/users was a good one, and that certain aspects could be useful for coordinating efforts for bioperl.
