3. What biological data should I discuss here?

Any of it!  The list scope particularily focuses on molecules, but
one of the great things about working in an emerging field is the
wide variety of uses / applications that become available every
day.  Please let us know if you have one!

4. What programming language should I use / discuss here?

There are no restrictions on discussing language specific issues,

applications being written in (at least) perl, java, C, C++ and
python.

Because the list is so new!  Additions will be made over time. 
Please let me know of any changes you would like made
