[Bioperl-l] Some trouble getting started

Yes -- I was starting to get the impression there was no one minding
the store.  In which case, I could take a stab at fixing these issues,
if someone were willing to give me the keys.  But otherwise ... it
doesn't matter, as long as someone takes a look.  I could probably fix
the mediawiki and wordpress issues, though, if no one else has time.

I haven't gone there primarily b/c they don't allow attachments (though that isn't necessarily a bad thing in some cases…).  Reason I ask: I would suggest we set up this project tracker so that it's primarily around web-admin, etc. for OBF, point the email forwards to somewhere useful, populate it with devs from the various groups, etc.  But, if no one but bioperl is using redmine then I don't see the point.
