Possibly - I wouldn't bother with a "set" release date, personally.
Instead - what capabilities should make up the next "formal release"
(i.e. "it's ready to release when THESE capabilities are implemented
and tested")?

Should we include editing for PEAR standards and implementation of
interface methods in all objects part of the goal for the next release?

Oh, and one last question - where in the structure should the EUtils and
NCBI Blast modules fit?  MOST of those don't really have a direct
relationship to sequences (except for EFetch from the nucleotide or
protein databases, and of course, INdirectly in some cases).

Spiffy, looking forward to seeing it!
