Given FESCo's decision on this feature, I wonder how the Bioconductor
feature . which packages a set of bioinformatics R add-on packages
would fare:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Bioconductor
It's similar in spirit to Fedora Electronic Lab, although I don't have
any actual data, I suspect a slightly larger target audience than
Provers. I am helping Pierre-Yves (aka pingou) with this feature.
