Bioinformatics course in debian-med - feasibility?



Dear debian-med,

We plan to convert an open access bioinformatics course to a Debian
package. Because debian-med is an active, helpful and relevant project, I
think debian-med would be a sensible route to achieve this.

The course is available as part of a ready-to-run Raspbian SD card image,
4273pi:

We are willing to put in work. At the moment, I am keen to check technical
feasibility.

Tasks we have in mind include:

- More clearly identifying dependencies on external packages and between
components within of the course.

- Editing the course material to suit a CC0 licence.

- Preparation of a .deb.

- Contribution of the .deb to debian-med.

Does this seem possible?

I am new to the details of debian-med. I will be at the Debian Med Sprint
Weekend, Stonehaven (Jan-Feb 2014) which will be useful.

At the moment, feasibility is the question. Advice on this point will be
welcome.

Thank you,

Daniel
