Bioperl is a completely open group - anyone can join the lists
and we welcome any contributions - but from the outside people might
wonder:

  • “who decides who is in Bioperl”
  • “who gets to go to Singapore”
  • “can I come along?”

So… here is short, rough idea how this works out …

Whaddya think? Is this an acceptable “open door” policy?
