I've sent Tiago some specific comments directly (little things).  One
issue which might deserve wider discussion is the project's short term
goals.  I would suggest putting:

* Moving from CVS to Subversion
* Make Sequence objects more OO and string-like
* More file formats in Bio.SeqIO and Bio.AlignIO

And also perhaps the Numeric to numpy move, Bug 2251
http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2251

I subscribe to the numpy mailing list and they seem to have been
making big strides in the documentation.  Also it looks like they plan
to make Travis Oliphant's "Guide to NumPy" book free after "SciPy
2008" - which probably means the August 2008 SciPy conference at
Caltech rather than EuroSciPy 2008 in July in Germany.
