[BioRuby] Developing a VISION

[Pjotr Prins]

Continuous integration testing is very useful for biogems/plugins. The
Ruby community has come up with travis-ci, which is integrated into
github! Any time code is submitted to github, the automated testing on
different platforms kicks in.

Here we set out to set up travis-ci with a biogem. I chose my bio-gff3
gem for integrated testing. See
