The Cartwheel Bioinformatics Toolkit
See the Cartwheel user site and the FamilyJewels user site for user-friendly documentation.
All of the Cartwheel and FamilyJewels source stuff has been moved from the two SourceForge sites (http://sf.net/projects/cartwheel and http://sf.net/projects/familyjewels/) into a single Subversion repository. All of the "active" projects are now available under /trunk/, e.g. /trunk/FRII contains the active development code for FamilyRelationsII.
You can check out individual modules like this:
svn co http://svn.idyll.org/repos/cartwheel/trunk/FRII FRII
Developers can use ssh:
svn co svn+ssh://<user>@svn.idyll.org/svn/t/cartwheel/trunk/FRII FRII
You're probably interested in one or more of the following modules: FRII, cartwheel-server, motility, or paircomp.
Contact Titus Brown at titus@idyll.org if you need check-in access or you would like an account to submit tickets, edit documentation on this Wiki, etc.
Mailing Lists
Announcements of new features and new releases will be made to the cartwheel-announce list.
The cartwheel list is the place for discussion.
If you are interested in ongoing development, the Cartwheel subversion announcements list reports all check-ins. (Subscribe to this if you're actively interested in the Cartwheel source code!)
Documentation
There is documentation for most of the individual packages under the doc/ subdirectories, e.g. FRII/doc or cartwheel-server/doc.

Building the Software
Here's a page on BuildingFamilyRelations. If you want to build paircomp or motility independently, just run cmake . && make in the paircomp/ or motility/ subdirectory.
Developers with check-in privileges might check the Cartwheel buildbot page.
