[Biopython-dev] How do I get started developing the Biopython library ?

[João Rodrigues]

Hi there,

Thanks for the interest! You can start by looking at the issues in the
GitHub tracker - https://github.com/biopython/biopython - and trying to fix
some of them. That's I'd say the best way you can get involved and learn
about the library.

Cheers,

João
