[Phylobase-devl] Aug. virtual hackathon

[Steven Kembel]

Hi everyone,

thanks to all for getting the ball rolling again and for the recent  
work on the package. I could participate in a mini-hackathon in the  
next month (August 10 onwards). I will need to re-familiarize myself  
before I can guess what and how much needs to be done but agree that  
getting a stable package onto CRAN would be awesome.

Cheers,
Steve
