BTW, I spoke to Gary about this when we met yesterday in Boston.  I agree with
Gary that Piper shouldn't be proposed as a bioinformatics-only system (some of
the wording gives that impression).  But I don't want to say "Piper/Loci"
either (Loci will be the name of a model collaboratory based on Piper and not
REALLY a software layer -- more on this later).

So, I think we should word it to say Piper CAN distribute bioinformatics
applications, rather than Piper IS SPECIFICALLY FOR distributing
bioinformatics applications.  How about this:

  "Distributing Bioinformatics Applications with Piper"

?

Cheers.
