[Biococoa-dev] new to the list

[John Timmer]

Welcome!

It looks like we've got a few professionals on board now - it'll be good to
have your perspective, and hope I don't come across as too clueless when you
go through the archive.

Do you have some links to point us to so that we can check into the database
adapter?  I'd be interested in looking it over.

Cheers,

John
