[BioPython] proposal: Bio-Django project

[Giovanni Marco Dall'Olio]

Of course I can show you the application I am writing.

I was thinking of applying to a google/summer of code. Let's propose a
few web applications that could be useful to researcher or
bioinformaticists, and ask google to fund it.

Maybe if any of the core biopython developers, who have experience in
handling a public repository for bioinformaticians, and are good
programmers, would like to partecipate as mentors, it would be a great
opportunity to learn django*, and obtain the google T shirt.


* or plone, they told me there is a similar project for plone:
