SeqAn 3 design

General sessions (for everyone)

• Build System (external Apps)

Module sessions (3-5 people)

• alphabet module and container module session
• align module session(s)
• index module session(s)
• io sessions
  • system io (mmap, compression..)
  • sequence_io
  • align_io
  • annotation_io und rna_struct_io
• external libraries (GSL-like lib with correct license, Boost(subset)?, SIMD lib?, test or doc libs?)
