This is a terrific idea. The better-blast[1] idea is a terrific example — an interesting problem, and one where a better solution would drastically affect biology (since BLAST is a common bottleneck).

- Blahah 13y agoThanks! Better-blast is one of my side-projects from my PhD that I don't have the skills or time to do alone. I've already had offers of help from some really talented engineers from all sorts of different backgrounds. Some of the ideas people have had are really outside what's being done in bioinformatics at the moment! More collaborators always welcome :)
