Hello. I've been a long time user of Perl. I had heard of BioPerl a long time ago, never looked into things beyond that. I have a problem with deer on my farm, and so I am building up a database on things which deer might not want to eat. In doing so, and research the edibility of red elderberries, I happened across the Native Plants database at Evergreen.ca. There was a message there, that they are shutting down the database at the end of the month (May 2018), and they would like to find a new home for the data. I have a fair amount of disk space, so I sent them a note. Their reply was that they would prefer that some organization take it over, not just someone with a few TB of disk space. :-) I mentioned CPAN and BioPerl in my reply to them. I thought I should "advertise" this here as well. Gord
