Thanks for showing your interest. It would be great if you were to
look at text mining and ontologies for BioRuby. It is relevant for
our work. To start with BioRuby get a github.com account and clone
the repository. You can start coding, and post questions on this
mailing list. We are having a presentation at BOSC next week, and the
slides discuss current work. It will be available for everyone.

Where are you located geographically?
