Greetings. With the help of Apple Computer, which is an organizational member of Bioinformatics.Org, we have set up a forum for open source bioinformatic developers to discuss development on the Mac OSX platform. For starters, there is a mailing list on which Apple Computer engineers will be subscribed and available for help. To subscribe to the mailing list yourself, please go to the following URL: https://bioinformatics.org/lists/biodarwin "BioDarwin" will likely grow into an "open lab" (special interest group) at Bioinformatics.Org and include many resources for the developer and Mac user. As a reminder of the resources available, Bioinformatics.Org has a G4 Server which can be used by Bioinformatics.Org members for software development and other projects related to bioinformatics. There's also Apple's treasure trove of developer resources, documentation and help: http://developer.apple.com/ Cheers. Jeff -- J.W.
