[Biojava-l] Wiki login using Google Account

[Andreas Prlic]

Thanks Jan,

We are currently waiting for some upgrades of the software running on the
server that is hosting biojava.org. In the meanwhile, the only way to log
in using open-id is by creating a yahoo account.

This is slightly annoying, however it is possible to associate this with
already existing accounts. As such it should offer an acceptable
work-around.

- What links are broken?

In the meanwhile there is also a growing tutorial on github, which might be
worth taking a look: https://github.com/biojava/biojava-tutorial
