Aw: Contents of the med-cloud package.
Hello,
Laszlo et al have a paper on PredictProtein in the Cloud with Debian
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2013/398968/
and I (strongly biased towards it, admittedly) would miss it. As long
as pp-popularity-contest is not executed upon startup, which I recall
it is not, I personally do not mind the calling home. Actually, I think
we should also have our regular popularity-contest package shipping with it.
The main problem that I see is that we have no guide on how to use
PredictProtein with Debian. At least I am not aware of it. This may
also bump our distro's adoption a bit more, I tend to think.
Many greetings
Steffen
