Hello Everyone.

This news bit is to announce the start of the Macroshack at
Bioinformatics.org. What is the Macroshack, you might ask?
It's purpose is generally twofold:

1. To provide top-notch bioinformatic support for researchers
2. To allow biologically oriented programmers with material
to create, exchange, and modify.

How are we going to go about this? Well, I personally see the
bio-programmer much like the caddy in golf. They provide the
tools and knowledge that help the golfer (researcher) work
more accurately and more efficiently.

So, if you are a researcher, performing repetitive tasks and
getting blisters on your hands from mouse movements, let us
know. If you are a programmer, looking for things to program,
stop in and see if there is anything interesting to do!

Also, feel free to ask any questions along the way... This is
a learning experience for all involved!

Take care,

Dave Cox
