Agreed.

Sounds good. I'll add those to the TODO list on the wiki.

I've updated the 1.6 release talk page to describe the hierarchical t/
structure I used for SeqIO.




> Feel free to do more restructuring along these lines; we have the other

Will do.




> Anyone else wanting to join in please let us know likewise.

Yes, anyone looking to lend a hand, please speak up! Restructuring these
test files does not require much expertise in BioPerl, and it's a good way
to get your feet wet.



I've gone through the list of outstanding bugs on the release page and tried
to do some triage on which release they seemed appropriate for -- see the
big TODO table on:

http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Talk:Release_1.6

Chris, I know you've been working hard on going through a lot of bugs in the
last few days. Hope I'm not stepping on your toes there; just trying to get
something written down on the list for each one of them so we can all
discuss and see what's left to be done.
