Hi, Andreas,
I'm sorry about my delayed response and thanks for all your efforts on
this so far!

At least for the latter, I think it would be better if those were filed
(and tracked in our tasks page) as RFPs instead of written directly to
the tasks file. I might volunteer to do the filing for the ones I
consider relevant.

I'd be happy to help with categorizing the packages, but I'm not sure it
is worthfile to shuffle them around the bio file if it doesn't make any
difference to the online view or the structure of the metapackage.
For example, I'm a bit confused by the presence of groupings in the
tasks/bio file like
X-{Begin,End}-Category: Phylogenetic analysis
while there is also a separate task file named bio-phylogeny. Should we
rather have bio depend on bio-phylogeny and just put all the phylogeny
packages in the latter file? I think this kind of division would be
helpful, as http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio is an extremely long
page. Are there any strong feelings about this?
Many thanks and regards
Afif
