A few weeks back Alf Eaton asked if I had considered enabling forums on nodalpoint so people can post software announcements, questions, on going discussions (perma threads) etc. After a little consideration I had to agree that with the increase in size of nodalpoint's traffic that forums would be a useful addition.
So I have enabled the Drupal forums module and Alf set up some forum topics (general to start with, suggestions welcome). So if you are a bioinformatics software developer and would like to announce your software releases, have questions that no one in the department can answer, have a conference that you would like to let people know about, use the forums.
There are a few posts there now: A discussion on a Review of PDF quality from Journal Publishers, Announcement of a New Life Science Literature Browser (Biolicious), and a few meta-posts on nodalpoint.
