Great.  TULIP/Loci is slowly progressing.  We have 10 people on the list now,
plus we are collaborating with Harry Mangalam of the tacg project:

    http://hornet.bio.uci.edu/~hjm/projects/tacg/tacg2.main.html

Much of our work lately has been innovating a new object management or workflow
system, which is the real meat of the project.  We have drafted the developer of
the Paos project, Carlos Maltzahn:

    http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~carlosm/software.html

We hope TULIP/Loci will be a framework for connecting bioinformatics and
structural biology programs of any type to a central GUI.  And we still think
Loci and EMBOSS can collaborate on this, since our projects are complementary
not competing.

I invite you to subscribe to our mailing list.  Send an e-mail to
majordomo at busboy.sped.ukans.edu with "subscribe tulip-list" in the message body.

I'd like to know if I can subscribe to your "closed" emboss-dev mailing list...?

We look forward to it.  Have you made any changes to the design since we last
communicated, in December?
