In general, you can either originate new projects or get involved in maintaining or extending current ones. With your current skill set you might perhaps be interested in the Distributed Annotation System (DAS) server software for delivering biological information over the net perhaps? The current incarnation uses http while a SOAP-based version is in the works. For more details about this, you could download from CVS the xdas modules as well as the core biojava-live module. The client is in das-gui (or das-client when that's debugged - classpath bug). For more detailed information on this, contact Thomas Down ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). CHoose whatever takes your fancy within BioJava basically. If you want a fast intro, there's a bootcamp running at Sanger Centre 18-22 March, registration required. best wishes and have fun, David Huen _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
