[Owl-devel] new interface ResidueContactScoringFunction

Hi Dan,

I always knew this would cause some confusion. Basically, you can assume
that any CMView developer will also be subscribed to owl-devel, because
CMView is so much based on the owl library. Since scoring functions are
of general interest, this is exactly the right place.

That's exactly right.

The package owl.decoyscoring contains some scoring functions,
which were implemented by Jose based on your BMCBI paper.

Thanks for contributing to open source software :)
