[Pipet Devel] Software Carpentry Project

[J.W. Bizzaro]

I didn't realize they were vaporware.  I had heard of the contest, and the
recent announcement made it sound as though these tools were the finished
result.

And they are NOT GPL'd (it's odd they wouldn't allow the GPL to be used in the
contest -- read the rules), which means our installer (if based on SC) would
have to be distributed separately.  Hmmm.
