I admit I'm really happy to get several competent students for this
project since when I was registering it I was afraid that nobody would
sign on.

Regarding PyMol: We also need to get the new upstream version of PyMol
(1.8) build for Debian. I remember there were some issues in building
it.

I have the hope that we might get even two students since there is
outreachy program and Google summer of code. No idea whether this works
- but from my perspective we have tasks even for two students. ;-)
For sure any volunteer is welcome as well and the Mentoring of Month
project is open for anybody. So getting some packaging training should
be granted.

latticetower-guest is now member of the Debian Med team and has commit
permissions. I'm also busy to migrate those packages from SVN to Git
which I consider sensible candidates for creating a test suite (recently
I moved stacks and exonerate - feel free to ask me for moving others).
If you are interested in Garlic I noticed that the packaging is in a
quite old fashioned state. We could negotiate with DebiChem team what
might be the best way to enhance the packaging (either you will get
commit permission to their VCS and we move it into their Git or we take
it over into Debian Med team. Its also lacking a test suite. Just let
us know where you would like to start.
Kind regards
Andreas.
