Title: Creating a package for measuring biodiversity

Hi,

I'm not completely sure of the protocol here, but I need functionality to measure the biodiversity of ecosystems (and the diversity of viruses and other related concepts) in Julia. I've previously rolled my own, or used one of the many packages that offer similar functionality in R. However, there is no such package for Julia. I have therefore started one of my own. It provides a series of standard diversity measures, and is accompanied by some documentation - though inline documentation seems to be impossible still(?) - and full unit testing using Coveralls. Unfortunately I tagged 4 versions before I got everything so that it looked as I expected, but all of them are functional - I wasn't quite sure what I was doing, obviously! However I assume that anyone downloading it will just get the latest - currently v.0.1.3? Is there anything else I might need to do to persuade you to add this to METADATA for other people to be able to use?

Cheers,

Richard.
