Okay, organization and repo name are both now 'biosql'.  No take-backs!

Re: upper case with bioperl repos, do you mean the Bio-* ones?  The emphasis there that (1) they aren't part of bioperl core but are still part of the Bio namespace, and (2) the dist will match the actual namespace and the module name (Bio::FeatureIO, for instance), unlike BioPerl and the others, and (3) there is some precedent (Bio::Graphics being one).  This simple thing makes it a lot easier for keeping track of names, and the module name can be used for CPAN installation, indexing, and documentation.
