Along these lines, it'd be great to publicize not only
BioPerl-*powered*projects, but ones which interface with it, too.

Just this week, for example, there is this, which could go both on a static
page and in the newsfeed:

SUMMARY: MOODS (MOtif Occurrence Detection Suite) is a software package for
matching position weight matrices against DNA sequences. MOODS implements
state-of-the-art on-line matching algorithms, achieving considerably faster
scanning speed than with a simple brute-force search. MOODS is written in C++,
with bindings for the popular BioPerl and Biopython toolkits. It can easily be
adapted for different purposes and integrated into existing workflows. It can
also be used as a C++ library. AVAILABILITY: The package with documentation and
examples of usage is available at http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/group/pssmfind. The
source code is also available under the terms of a GNU General Public License
(GPL). CONTACT: janne.h.korhonen at helsinki.fi.
