Developing and distributing a phylogeny package: tales of the PHYLIP

Abstract: I will describe how the PHYLIP phylogeny inference package developed and has been distributed. In its 27 years of continuous development, it has grown and improved greatly and its developer is wiser, and perhaps sadder. I will explain some of the decisions made, assess whether they were correct ones, and try to give some sense of the reactions it has gotten, the triumphs, the tragedies, and the dilemmas that it faces in the future.
