In case you haven't heard back from anyone about your proposal yet -- you
certainly sound qualified for this project and I encourage you to start an
application on the main GSoC site (if you haven't already):
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2011

It's best to get the administrative bits out of the way and at least a stub
of a proposal online early, to ensure you don't get caught by the deadline
next week.

Another good initial step is to sign up on GitHub and fork the Biopython
source tree for yourself:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython
http://biopython.org/wiki/SourceCode

Certainly. :)


So that was my not-so-short presentation. I would love to get to know the

Thanks for the introduction. We're always happy to help here.
