Bow;
Thanks for the introduction and glad to hear you're putting together an
application for GSoC. Please do keep us up to date as you get your
proposal together so everyone can provide feedback. Have fun with it and
best of luck,
Brad

> mentioned previously by Peter. The reason for my interest is simply because
> I think the feature would be very useful for a lot of people working in
> biology (with Biopython, of course). I'm currently discussing my options
> and ideas with Peter, but I would also like to tell the community of my
> GSoC intentions.

> That's all for a short (re-)introduction from me. I'm looking forward for
