[BiO BB] open source ideas

[bioinfo]

Joel,
	That is the first submission area I was going to look at.  There is no
existing tool that makes assembling these sequences easy for the average
bench scientist.

Just to be sure, the target database is dbEST at NCBI right? No other
proprietary databases as targets?

Hello,
	If you do I would love to see it and use it when it is complete.

Hi,
You're right, possibly it'll make sense to keep this sort of
thing stand alone. It releases the user from the clutches of the
web admin. Also if one is content with a text interface, then it will be
platform independent, I guess perl has posix conformance. And with the
possibility of implementing things as modules, this can really be
scaleable. (Of course i don't know Java, so am supporting perl).
Now to find someone to code it!
