[Bioperl-l] BioPerl BuildBot

[Tiago Antão]

Hello from Dolly the Sheep (not in Scotland - a bit further South),

I happen to have some time in my hands (not common), so if any of you
BioPerl code monkeys wants to go ahead with this, I will gladly
support. I can help configure the first runs and help the person(s)
with the initial learning curve.
