Thanks to John Helliwell for introducing the new IUCr forum at
http://forums.iucr.org on diffraction data deposition.
The Diffraction Data Deposition Working Group (DDDWG) has been
established by the IUCr to address the growing calls within the
crystallographic community for the deposition of primary diffraction
images. It is not restricted to macromolecular crystallography, and
indeed is interested in the requirements for deposition of primary
experimental data from all IUCr Commissions. It is likely that
requirements for metadata, data citation and distributed storage
will be common to many fields. Nevertheless, the macromolecular
community is clearly a large and important constituency, and
the Working Group will welcome your input.
The forum can be reached directly at the URL
http://forums.iucr.org/viewforum.php?f=21
It can be read by anyone, so you do not need to register to read the
existing posts. You will, however, need to register if you want to
contribute your own posts. Instructions for doing this are found at
http://forums.iucr.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=50
although they should also be readily deducible from the front page for
anyone who has previously used forum software.
So far as possible, we would ask contributors to try to structure their
discussions into distinct topics. You can reply to an existing topic
(using the "REPLY POST" button), to build up a coherent discussion on
that specific point. If you wish to raise a new line of discussion,
use the "NEW TOPIC" button on the forum contents page, and try to
give a concise title to the new topic you are introducing.
The forums have their own area for asking questions and getting help about
how the software works (http://forums.iucr.org/viewforum.php?f=19); but if
in doubt, please feel free to email me directly (bm at iucr.org).
Regards
Brian McMahon
