[Bioperl-l] Google Summer of Code

[Robert Buels]

Hello Murtaza,

The first point of contact for each project is the relevant project's 
mailing list, which in this case is bioperl-l at lists.open-bio.org.  I'm 
CCIng this there.

Keep in mind that the summer of code application deadline is April 9th, 
19:00 UTC, which is in just 5 days.
