Elia--
I say a definite +1; in fact, this sounds like it should be a Hot Topic
(see http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Category:Hot_Topics for some others
you might have missed in your hiatus...). I will create a page that
can be a central point for wish lists, discussion, etc.
There has been much discussion of late about FASTQ

cheers from a newbie,
