[BioRuby] Post Hackathon tasks

[Alex Gutteridge]

Christian: The rubyforge feature request page linked to from here:

http://bioruby.open-bio.org/wiki/Bioruby_Resources

Seems to be the official way to do it though it is new and there's not  
much there at the moment. Perhaps a 'to-do' page on the wiki itself  
would be helpful as well?

Jan: I'll see about picking up a sequence format. Do you have anything  
specific in mind when you say 'webservices related stuff'? I'm working  
on the Moby client, though that will probably go into BioMoby rather  
than BioRuby. Is there a specific service we're not supporting at the  
moment you're thinking of?
