Dear All,

There will be a workshop at Duke to discuss open computational biology for neglected diseases (i.e., TDI) in May. So the project is visible to funders and gathering momentum. What it really needs is a detailed biology road map. What clever and useful tasks can volunteers accomplish by collaborating on line? Can we imagine a such series of tasks leading to a list of candidate drugs?

I see this as pretty much like any other grant proposal -- good science is going to get rewarded, talented people will become leaders. Open source issues are fun to think about, but good biology will make this work.
