Hello all, The R core team has informed us of their tentative release plans and it looks like the next R release, and therefore the next BioC release, will be in the first week of October. As such, the deadline for contributing new packages for the upcoming BioC 2.1 release is next MONDAY 27 August. If you submit a packge on or before the 27th, we will do our best to expedite reviews and get it in the release (you can improve your chances by carefully following the package guidelines). Packages received after the 27th will not be reviewed until after the early October release and will be scheduled for inclusion in the next release (BioC 2.2, ~April 2008). Such packages will be available in the BioC devel repository. Questions? Concerns? Let us know.
