maybe this is a reason why we should have a general genome software
group, and not one specific to C. elegans. Maybe bionet.software.genome
would be a better idea (quick, where is my asbestos suit ... :)

This group could discuss ACeDB, AAtDB and things like SIGMA (System
for Integrated Genome Map Assembly) which work for the map of _any_
organism.  It would be *very* interesting to have all these genome
software developers and users in one group.
