RSS feeds

I’ve added a page about RSS feeds in BioPerl. These include links to CVS commits as a RSS feed. This a bit of a hack using cvs2rss and cvs2cl and I have hardcoded it to show the last 30 commits only.
In addition RSS news is now embedded on the main BioPerl and Tracking CVS commits webpages to make for better interlinking between the news and wiki site ( you might even be reading this there).

The newest summary of the BioPerl mailing lists has been posted to the wiki:
Post gripes, harrassments, and faint praises at the regular places.
Weekly Mailing List Traffic Summaries
Posted on April 5, 2006

I plan on starting a weekly, possibly biweekly, summary of mailing list traffic. These will be somewhat in the same vein as the Perl5 or Perl6 summaries and will be posted on the blog here and sent to the bioperl-l mail list. Barring another natural disaster here, these should start up next week (covering mail list traffic starting from April 1). The summaries will cover traffic mainly from bioperl-l (the main mail list) but will include biosql-l, since it’s fairly low traffic, and bugs/module updates from bioperl-guts-l.

GMANE has been tracking BioPerl traffic for a few years now.
You can see the page here
There are several interfaces there including threaded and BLOG-like.
Those interested in tracking the mailing list in RSS readers should grab this link.
There is also a search option for the archives. Try to search GMANE for BLAST
Installation files added to website

Installation instructions for Bioperl have been added to the main Bioperl website. They have been updated with links and tags for the wiki. Currently, both pages are accessible through links from Getting Bioperl and Installing Bioperl; these links will be subject to change. Please correct lins/tags/information as necessary.
More website updates

Wordpress 2.0.1 installed. Presumably no major differences to be seen but some bug fixes installed.
A Wiki spam filter was installed, we’ll see how well it performs but trying to cut down on spammers.
We also will try and setup a RSS feed on the wiki main page so that news feeds from this site (and perhaps other open-bio sites) will be scrolled on the main BioPerl website. There are nice plugins for this in wikimedia we just need to find the time to do the install and testing.

(reposting this news from O|B|F News)
I am pleased to announce the release of a new website for BioPerl. The site is based on the mediawiki software that was developed for the wikipedia project. We intend the site to be a place for community input on documentation and design for the BioPerl project. There is also a fair amount of documentation started surrounding bioinformatics tools and techniques applicable to using BioPerl and some of the authors who created these resources.
[Read More]Publications and projects which reference BioPerl

I’ve been updating the Publications page on the wiki to keep track of the number of pubs and projects which use BioPerl. Google scholar seems to get a lot of these correct, sometimes there are redundancies, but generally has been a good place to find this list. The other way is to go to each of the journal’s home pages, and search for “BioPerl” in the content, that can be tedious though….

I installed the new Regulus theme, comments are welcome as to whether or not you like it.
It is possible to customize the color scheme and top-image as well if there are suggestions - perhaps we’ll build a header which incorporates our logo once that is decided.
Site software updated

I’ve updated the wordpress install to 2.0 which has a lot more features and seems to be better setup for permissions and what not.
I also upgraded the wiki to 1.5.5 to deal with some potential security holes with WMF files.
I also changed the permalink structure so that the links are informative by date and post-slug. I like this much more.
