Hi all,
Francois Michonneau, Joseph Brown and I are happy to let you know that we’ve just posted a pre-print of a manuscript describing “rotl”, a package that grabs data from the Open Tree Of Life project: https://peerj.com/preprints/1471v1/
We’d be very happy to hear any thoughts you have about either the manuscript or the package. You can leave comments at the PeerJ website or post issues at the repos for the the package or the manuscript source. If you have any praise to give, you should direct it to Franscois, who has done a lot of work to get this package ready for users and to write this manuscript.
