Hi all,

Good news! Time to work on the presentation, I'll keep the list posted.
There is still chance to change the abstract if you think something should
be included.

Cheers,

AUTHOR COMMENTS: Pretty straightforward project update on the current
status of Biopython.  I like the additional mention of Docker here to help
ease installation and deployment.

AUTHOR COMMENTS: I like that this submission covers new features, general
code improvements and deployment / teaching tools. This is a well-used
project with an active developer community. Documentation on github and
project website is very good.

AUTHOR COMMENTS: Biopython is an important part of the bioinformatics
ecosystem, and it's great to see continued progress.

That said, the abstract does read as a set of release notes.  A little more
information about major developments (e.g. what the Docker images offer)
might be welcome, as would a brief mention of post-1.66 plans.
