[BioRuby] The first BioRuby IRC conference on Dec 19th

[Raoul Bonnal]

Got it.
It's a good idea.
Sorry I use the term Scaffolder but it's a different thing it's more like a scaffold generator code for developing bioruby libraries.

We can packit as a bioruby gem with my lib.

Also George wrote a library, asking for the plugin guidelines time ago, we could pack it too.
