[Biopython] Python crowd-coding

[Aniba, Radhouane]

Hello ' pythonians',

I apologize in advance if the message sounds like an advertisement, but I thought it might be useful to the users of Biopython list, so I will make it short.

I just wanted to announce the first public release of CodersCrowd, the bioinformatics crowdcoding platform, to the public.

This first release of our application comes with a lot of features that will be, we hope, of great help for your day to day bioinformatics developments and research.

It was less than a year ago that I first thought about a platform where people share their skills and methodologies to solve different kinds of problems. After months of feedbacks from the community, I think that we have here something that will be of great help, an addition to some excellent initiatives that are already changing the way we are doing bioinformatics, such us biostars, seqanswers and rosalind.

The first release of CodersCrowd comes already loaded with a lot of features, but this is only the top of the iceberg. We decided to go public with the version 1.1 that was ready about a month ago (we were running a battery of tests to make sure everything works great). The future of CodersCrowd is incredibly bright and we welcome you to join us on the journey of its first chapter.

You can sign up here : coderscrowd.com, and I would be glad to have some feedbacks if any.

Thanks,

Rad, the guy behind CodersCrowd
