[Biopython-dev] Biopython.org live on GitHub Pages - please check your contributions

[Peter Cock]

Thank you everyone who has reported issues and/or confirmed
their GitHub account mapping.

I have just redone the MediaWiki migration (re-writing git history)
in order to update the username mapping:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io/issues/2

Perhaps more importantly, we now avoid using filenames with colons
so that people can work on the website from windows - thank you
Markus for reporting this:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io/issues/21

This also sorted out a few formatting glitches from my conversion:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io/issues/10

Hopefully we won't need to rewrite the git history again?

If you want to fork this, rename the repository to your-username.github.io
e.g. My fork is at peterjc.github.org and can be viewed online at
http://peterjc.github.io

Note you may get a warning email from GitHub pages saying the
CNAME has been ignored (peterjc.github.io can't use the CNAME
entry saying biopython.org because biopython.github.io already
has it).

Regards,

Peter
