[Bioperl-l] [Gmod-gbrowse] bp_seqfeature_delete.PL - where should I submit a patch?

[Chris Fields]

Keiran,

We gladly accept patches if this is easier for you.  Using git/github is one way of getting more users involved and opening up the code more; the actual barrier to submit code changes is lowered to the point where one can fork our code and hack away, then submit pull requests for those changes to be merged (all via github, using one's account).  

We are generally doing more code review these days (asking for tests, requiring passing tests for inclusion, etc), but in this case that's probably not a problem.
