Hello all ... The Bioconductor 1.5 release schedule has been determined and we are looking at October 25th for our release date, with packags in the development tree becomming increasingly stable after Oct 4th (the day of the R-2.0 release) as the various levels of code freezes are enacted. More information will be made available on the developer page of the BioC website, and users who wish to keep up to date with release related issues should subscribe to the bioc-devel mailing list. I would also like to invite users to volunteer to review packages in our distribution. What this would involve is to go through the functionality, the documentation and if possible the code itself and come up with constructive criticism to present to the maintainer of that package. Note that this isn't really intended as a mechanism to bombard the maintainers of our packages with "wish lists" of functionality, but rather a way for users to point out areas that might still be a bit too rough around the edges to the maintainer - who hopefully will have the time to smooth them out. If you are interested in performing such a review, please either contact me or the maintainer of the package you wish to work with directly. Thanks -J
