[MOBY-dev] request for community feedback on certain issues

[Edward Kawas]

Hi Once again,

I have added the page to a twiki, at
http://www.biomoby.org/twiki/bin//view/General/FeedBackDoc

I have also added Martins comments to it. If this isn't good
enough, and you do prefer to have the items split up, then I
will do it.

Eddie
