[Bioperl-l] call for a TreeIO volunteer

[Dave Messina]

Hi everybody,

We've got a couple of small open bugs related to the Bio::TreeIO modules, and we could really use someone to take a look at them. Ideally, that someone would have familiarity with TreeIO already.*

It'd help us to get the next release (1.6.2) out the door.

The bugs in question are:
- TreeIO::newick writes root node branch length incorrectly
http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3039

- Bio::TreeIO::nhx cannot parse empty [&&NHX] + round-trip failure
http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3007


Thanks,
Dave
on behalf of the core developers
