Sorry, this list server seems to eliminate the attachments.
Could you put it on the web site or send it to me so that I can put somewhere.

Nakao-san is preparing a repository for rails related projects at rubyforge
(mainly for rails plugins utilizing bioruby library), so your code is also
welcomed to be there.

I proposed 'bioruby-annex' as the project name as the 'bioruby-rails-plugins'
is too long (rubyforge's limit is 15 chars).  Nakao-san, is your project
already granted?

We need to consider how to incorporate rails dependent codes in bioruby
in the near future.
