Hello, That is correct - the alpha-version of the BioCatalogue plugin will be released very soon. It is intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the plugin and its potential for its further extension and enhancement. I hope the release will attract attention and will encourage users to provide feedback - which will help to develop a more advanced and feature-rich version later in the year.
I will make a proper announcement about the release on this mailing list shortly.
