Dear all:

We are writing a short bioinformatics manuscript describing a novel feature of our Dlang bioinformatics library [0] which leverages the type system in (AFAICT) a novel way to statically guarantee correctness within our problem domain.

However, we are not type theorists or even computer scientists [1], and the manuscript could benefit greatly from a pre-review by an expert in the field for correctness of nomenclature and other suggestions. We would be delighted to acknowledge you in the paper (or, if major rewrite is suggested and undertaken, potentially to include you as a co-author).

Please shoot me at note at my gmail address if you can help. We will try to take an absolute minimum of your time. Thank you in advance!

James Blachly

I've done a similar thing for the domain of compute/GPUs in dcompute, and though I'm no type theory expert, I have engineering, compiler and biology backgrounds.

I can't find that gmail address though.

firstname.lastname (its in the from field).

Thanks, this is not readily available from the forum interface. I swear it used to be.

Use the source link (next to reply).

For normal forum users there is no such link. Most likely you have some kind of elevated privileges that grant you access to it.

You sure about that?

Positive. :)

In fact, I'll do you one better. Here's the code in DFeed that generates the "source" link:

And here's the Level enum it refers to:

I definitely also do not see any "source" link; I even created a new account and logged in to see if it appeared then.
