The current remit of CCP4BB is protein crystallography. As such,
contributions from Phenix developers are welcome. Having said that, if
the question is about how to perform some operation(s) with CCP4 then
they perhaps ought to be somewhat circumspect in their response. If
after a week or so the question has not been answered then a Phenix or
other-non-CCP4-based answer would not be inappropriate (in my opinion).
On to a different but related topic:
I think CCP4 mailing list archive is poor place to store technical
answers. I wonder if the repeated questions is because previous answers
are so hard to find? And also the reason why many would rather answer in
person rather than to the list? (I know that I answer personally more
than I do to the list). I'd like to encourage the use of MajorGroove.org
for many of the questions that come up on CCP4BB - it is (or will be) a
great format/forum for questions and answers with a useful search and
rating system. It will become better with more use.
(MajorGroove.org is not the place for discussion.)
