Hi everyone, The recent thread on the dev list about participating in BioJava made me realize that our list of feature requests is pretty sparse and disorganized. In the current state of things, I think we are missing out on getting contributions from new developers who want to help but don't know where to start. The github issues<https://github.com/biojava/biojava/issues>consist mostly of very technical bugs best fixed by the developer who wrote the code, and the wiki page<http://biojava.org/wiki/BioJava3_Feature_Requests>is short, general, and hasn't been updated in a while.
Let's brainstorm some more feature requests. Where are the holes in our API? Are there any algorithms that would be useful to have in Java? I know that I have a list of features which I plan to implement "some day" but never bothered to write down anywhere. Let's add all those ideas to github, so that potential contributors or potential summer of code students can get some ideas. I'll start by creating issues for the current feature requests. -Spencer P.S. Should we use the 'enhancement' or 'new feature' label on github for feature requests? They are used inconsistently right now. _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@lists.open-bio.org http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
