[Phylobase-devl] Aug. virtual hackathon

[Ben Bolker]

  I would also prefer not a weekend (but not impossible either).

  Just to start the ball rolling, I propose Tuesday August 18
at 11 AM EDT (a little early for west-coast folks, but not
horrendous -- since Marguerite
can't play right now, we don't have to worry about Hawai'i)

  ??

  cheers
    Ben
