There was an initial push for this years ago IIRC, with the biodata repository, but it never took off. Not sure if the dev.open-bio.org CVS repo is even browsable anymore (I believe this was all synced to portal for browsing), but the old biodata CVS repo is still in /home/repositories/biodata (very little there, might as well start from scratch). chris _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list EMBOSS@lists.open-bio.org http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
