Hi Weigang,

I wonder whether it would be better to have a separate bputils repo in the BioPerl space.  This would allow development to continue w/o tying it directly to a release, and I think would solve the exposure problem much more so than having it included in the main bioperl-live repo.  We could also feasibly include it as part of the main CPAN bioperl release, maybe by simply linking to it as a git submodule and packaging it up.

Dear BioPerl developers,

I intend to share & (eventually) publish a suite of bioperl-based command-line utilities my lab has developed & found very useful in the past 10 years:

http://diverge.hunter.cuny.edu/labwiki/Bioutils

Hilmar encouraged me to get some feedback & advice from the bioperl-L on how to package and release it properly.

My specific questions are:

1. While it goes naturally with bioperl releases, but I would like it to be more exposed than hidden inside the bp-scripts folder. Do you think these utilities are useful enough to be housed in a separate folder (e.g., "bputils") by itself? I have a developer's account but I haven't commit anything for years.

2. How to make it sustainable (and attract new developers) since we are constantly revising and adding methods. It would be great if become a part of bioperl-live.

Any advice and facilitation will be appreciated!

Thanks,
