[BioRuby] Restyling BioRuby.org

[Raoul Bonnal]

Mentoring is not too much work if the mentor has interest :-)
I would call that page ³BioRuby Lab². In this page I would rank the projects
accomplished, these projects could be used by universities to offer stages
for students (Francesco and Me, we are doing in this way)
 
I¹d like to have a page with the developers with an image and brief
description of his/her research/interest with all contact information
(twitter,email,irc,skype,G+).
