Congratulations on an exciting new site, it looks like it's beginning to really shape up!
I figured maybe I can liven it up a bit with a small (beta) debut here. Maybe you'd like to have a look at my new (totally rewritten) software for bioinformatics analysis; it supports analyzing almost every type of file through some advanced information theory techniques. Try it and see, it's easy to use:
Many Life Science researchers need bioinformatics tools for the desktop. But many of the common Open Source tools are difficult to install for people without much Linux/Unix knowledge. We have created a user friendly install package for the MacOSX platform. The package installs most of the common bioinformatics packages: EMBOSS, Blast, HMM etc and also installs some biological databases. Together with the packages it is possible to configure webservices e.g. Blast. Researchers will find it very useful to be able to install a user friendly GUI in top of EMBOSS (embossRUNNER).
All packages can be downloaded at www.ebioinformatics.org. Detailed instructions and HOW-TOs have being published on the latest issues of EMBnetNews (free from www.embnet.org).
BARF is a nice hack using Bioruby and NCBI's EUtils web services to produce RSS feeds of the most recent papers published by journals relevant to Bioinformatics. For example see all the recent publications in the journal of bioinformatics.
I'm tempted to use Biopython EUtils support to produce Atom versions of the same feeds. I'm sure there are RSS to Atom transformation services out there anyway :)
