[GSoC] Accepted for GSoC 2017

[Peter Cock]

Thank you Julian for your text about your Bionode work,
that's a great start to the OBF GSoC 2016 wrap-up post.

This still leaves:

Alisha Mechtley - ETE toolkit on tree searching using
regular-expression-like queries.
Anton Khodak -  Common Workflow Language, creating an automated tool
wrapper/converter for CWL
Christian Fischer - GeneNetwork Genome Browser
Graham Dyer - openSNP, extending the quantified-self support
Mariana Nave - improve the prediction for RiPP clusters in antiSMASH
Mateus Jabor - improving the user experience in openSNP
Vivek Rai - linking phenotypes to SNPs in openSNP

I'm looking forward to reading what you've all been up to :)

Thanks,

Peter
