What software packages have been given the MANIFESTO's seal of approval?

I found the MANIFESTO and Pjotrp's recent Nature article inspiring (http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v33/n7/full/nbt.3240.html). However, at the end of my readings, I'm left with no action items. Perhaps this is because I am not a bioinformatician (I hope to get into this amazing field), but I am a computer scientist and studied mathematics. I could help, but I need to know with what. Can we get a current list of software that meets the requirements to start being a list?

That is a good idea. We have a bio-packaging mailing list at http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Bio-packaging and I can compile a list of compliant packages on http://biogems.info/ (there is a list of Debian packages now, but not curated). GNU Guix is a good candidate too - I am working on that and you'll like their approach. Let's discuss on the bio-packaging ML.
