Re: Are we relevant under terms of "free bioinformatics software"



Agreed. And then there is this ever-lasting issue about the uncertainty
what our home page should be.
Personally, I do not mind to leave much of the direct user interaction
with BioLinux, much like Ubuntu taking a lot from us. I am more
concerned about the synchronicity of our packaging.

So, once we have done our keywords and descriptions homework, we should
possibly add the one or other link from our home pages. I'll just add
something to wiki.debian.org/DebianMed, www.debian.org/devel/debian-med,
debian-med.alioth.debian.org and nebc.nerc.ac.uk/tools/bio-linux/,And
then. Well, let's see how it goes. At least http://bio-linux.org/ knows
about us :)
