[BioPython] Questions & suggestions

[Iddo Friedberg]

Hi,

Regarding the documentation: how about adopting two models to help keep 
it up-to-date:

1) CVS the Biopython Book. In that manner, it will be easy for people to 
insert fixes/updates new entries, etc. etc. See the plone book

http://plone.org/documentation


CVS on http://sourceforge.net/projects/plone-docs



2) Online comments from users, like in the Zope or MySQL manuals. that 
would be helpful in identifying glaring gaps in the docs.

Thomas, I'm glad to hear you're perfoeming some missionary work as well 
...;)

Oh, and thanks for the PDB header adition.
