Lucky guy.  I wish I were going ;-)

Is your Ph.D. in Computational Biology or Computer Science?

We'd like to have you help.  Don't worry about the time commitment.  We are
taking things very slowly, but we want many others to join so that we can get
more accomplished: Many hands make for light work.

Okay.  I used to program in Windows too.

Well, I'm a big GTK/GNOME advocate.  It's not entirely stable, as far as Linux
is concerned, but probably more stable than Windows.

Most definitely take a look at the mailing list archive, especially the more
recent e-mails: 

http://toaster.sped.ukans.edu/tulip-list/ 

You will also want to be on the list, so send an e-mail to this address: 

    majordomo at busboy.sped.ukans.edu 

with this text in the body of the message: 

    subscribe tulip-list 

If you want to find out more about the GUI tools we're using, check out this
site:

Do you want an account our Linux server?


Cheers,
Jeff
