I am more or less done my draft of a Sage/Cython article for OpenWetWare. I think this is a good minor opportunity to expose a different community to Sage. The bioinformatics community is already fairly pro-open-source, and OpenWetWare readers are self-selected to be more so. Before it is made "live" and linked to, I would be interested in comments:
