TreeView X, the open source version of TreeView, has been slowly suffering bit rot as C++ compilers and operating systems change. Every so often I'd tweak the code to build on some Linux version or other, but this isn't something I've a lot of time for. Moreover, because of the hassle of rebuilding binaries and source tar balls the updated versions weren't uploaded to the TreeView X web site.

Partly inspired by Pedro Beltra's post Open Science project on domain family expansion about using Google Code as a project management system, I've started to populate the iPhylo project. At this stage I'm uploading some scripts for parsing and extracting bibliographic records, and adding wiki pages describing how this is done, discussing different bibliographic identifiers, etc.
