[Bioperl-l] a Main Page proposal

[Chris Fields]

Russell, Mark,

It would be nice to change the background, just don't want it to be  
too distracting.

Also (I mentioned this to Mark off-list), I think the sidebar would be  
cleaned up considerably, but not until this becomes the default.  I  
also like the use of the TreeView extension, very nice!  Anyone have  
privs for the wiki to test it out?
