To add to Kay's announcement...

There is also going to be another, "official", ccp4 wiki, distinct from
Kay's wiki, and fulfilling a different purpose. We're in the early
stages of developing it at the moment. The precise roles will probably
evolve over time, but currently we see them as follows:


"Official" CCP4 wiki: This is primarily aimed at providing more
up-to-date and more easily updated documentation for the software, as
well as a broader crystallographic knowledge base. It will be
GUI-oriented, unlike the existing documentation. It will be written
mainly by developers and experienced users, and will be curated - so
editing will not be completely open. I hope to be able to release it by
the end of the month (but I've been saying that for several months already).

"Community" wiki: (i.e. Kay's announcement). This will be far more
community oriented, open to all contributors, and hopefully will collect
good stuff from the bulletin board, as well as any other material people
want to add. I hope, also, that because it is not hosted by CCP4, that
it will be able to provide an independent voice! It is certainly useful
to have a forum in which unofficial, and if necessary, critical
viewpoints can be expressed.


We also hope to link between the two wikis, and when appropriate, copy
material between them. This is all developing rapidly though, so things
may change!
