 -fix trait data input - currently many functions expect a vector with names, should handle/check lack of names and warn. Write helper function.

 For 0.2 and beyond
 -------
 -reinstate function to call out to phylocom executable and read results back in to R
 -implement null model heavy lifting in C code - see BB's email for a start
 -allow trait data to be a vector or a data.frame (single or multiple columns)
--implement contrib index and similar - move to phylobase format?

 -taxaShuffle and comstruct functions - rewrite to use indices in place of names for efficiency

+<p> The picante package implements a number of methods for measuring phylogenetic and trait diversity in ecological communities, phylogenetic signal, comparartive analyses (i.e. phylogenetically independent contrasts for circularly distributed traits), and utility functions for tree and data manipulation.</p>
 
+<p>Current features include:
+<ul><li>Community phylogenetic and trait similarity measures (Webb's NRI/NTI, mean pairwise distance among co-occurring species (can be used with any interspecific distance measure), correlations between species co-occurrence and phylogenetic distances</li>
+<li>Phylogenetic signal (Blomberg et al's K statistic and P-value based on randomization test)</li>
+<li>Independent contrasts for traits with circular distributions (i.e. phenology)</li>
+<li>Null models for community and phylogeny randomization</li>
+<li>Utility functions to read/write data in Phylocom format</li>
+</ul></p>
+
+<p>Initial release (version 0.1) scheduled for April 2008.</p>
