JonathanManning Would Like to Check-in
Who am I?
A bioinformaticist working at the University of Edinburgh, interested in the use of wikis based on Foswiki to create small collections of very detailed knowledge around particular biological systems.
What do I want?
write access to
SVN for the following branches:
wikiplugins
What can I do?
Masters and
PhD in bioinformatics, with quite a bit of experience of (but limited formal training in) perl. Other miscellaneous skills- web dev, technical writing etc.
Why do I want to do it?
Right now I would like access to the
SVN repo so that I can properly package my extension (a sort of aggregator and wiki 'seeder' for biological data, plus some utility functions) with
BuildContrib. I was previously building within TWiki, until the fork (this work was published recently), and now have a new version under development in Foswiki.
I will at some point upload the code for examination and improvement, but it wouldn't stand up to scrutiny from proper coders currently!
Other Notes
Topics I have contributed to
i'd love to see your work ported to Foswiki! in fact, i had actually started the
task of porting BioKbPlugin (
http://www.bioinf.mvm.ed.ac.uk/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/BioKbPlugin), but subversion and network connections have been conspiring against me... :/

Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure my new version is a significant improvement in function, and will get round to documenting and tidying the code.
