[BioPython] biopython.com domain about to expire

[Andrew Dalke]

After ISMB 2001, I bought the biopython.com domain with the
hopes of setting up a site listing companies which used Python
in biology, with a preference for ones which encouraged open
source.  I bought it in my company's name so I could set the
policy -- I felt that if it was done under the OBF umbrella
then the site would need a stronger open-source leaning, and
I figured that biopython.org's own web site is sufficient
for that.

The domain is set to expire, in ... 3 days.  I've been putting
off renewing it since it turns out I haven't done much biology
programming the last few years.  Most of my income has come from
doing chemistry software instead, and I expect it to stay
that way for at least another year or more.

(But if you have money, make me an offer ;)

Before it lapses back to general availability, I wondered
if anyone here wanted to develop and maintain a biopython.com
site?  Given my opinion above, I don't think it's right for
the OBF to do it, and given the work involved I suspect no
one wants to volunteer for it.  But I thought I'ld make the
offer.
