So, it seems like we already support quite a bit of stuff you're interested in

This is a very decent initial selection; when do you guesstimate for v0.7?
I'm near finished with getting the CP2K support to work well, but we'll
also need to add versioning to the easyblocks, as we've noticed (we
fixed a bug in the BLACS easyblock, and now we need a way of checking
that the BLACS used for building CP2K is the correctly built version).
This will take a bit more time, it's hard to say when I'll be able to
get it done.
We will keep you posted via the list though; as soon as v0.7 is out,
you'll hear about it here.
Again, we probably won't be actively adding support for software packages we
(currently) don't need ourselves for now.
But, if you end up writing easyblocks for these packages, we'll be happy to
have a look at them and include them in the EasyBuild codebase.
Exactly that. I may be able to contribute back with some Bioinformatics EBs;
I'll experiment and let you know how it goes.
Cool, that's good to hear.
I took some time today to compose a list of software packages we
currently have support for, together with a rough planning for version
0.7, 0.8 and 0.9.

Maybe you'll find other software packages in there as well that interest
you. If so, let us know.
I don't think we'll change that very soon, but we can probably make the module
naming scheme that EasyBuild uses tuneable through the EasyBuild config file.
I think that would be an excellent idea and make the framework truly generic.
We've created a ticket for that in our bug tracking system. It shouldn't
be too hard to support this, I expect.
