Hello - The best way to proove the code is worthy is to provide JUnit tests with the code that provide good coverage of the functionality. If the tests pass the code is worthy. Other more esoteric things like good API design and efficiency are also nice but if the unit tests don't pass it doesn't work.
Let us know what you plan to do. - Mark Gary Bader <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/09/2005 05:53 AM To: Mark Schreiber/GP/[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: biojava-l@biojava.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Biojava-l] Homologene parser update? Hi Mark, Thanks. The changes that NCBI made to their file formats are large, so I could write another builder/parser for the new file format, but it would not map completely to the existing parser (which is now broken because of NCBI format changes to even the deprecated file format). If I want to contribute code, who decides that the code is worthy (e.g. does a design review)? Ideally, this would happen before I start coding. I haven't figured out if I am going to use the existing framework for my current project, since the file format has become simpler, but I would like to contribute if possible.
