Dear Peter,
Perhaps your PI is referring to the collection of datasets and
tutorials being compiled at the following link. Raw data (diffraction images)
are available for various datasets exhibiting different challenges and
tutorials, put together by the authors of various data processing and structure
phasing/refinement programs, will provide expert advice on how to tackle these
"tough, but workable" examples.
Some of the author/speakers involved are still working very
hard to get their tutorials ready so stay tuned! You can access all the raw
data now, and there are links to all the software/documentation. Please take a
look at the acknowledgements to recognize the considerable effort put into this
venture by the author/speakers, corporate sponsors and contributors of the raw
data.
The website will accompany the "Data Processing With The Pros"
and "Phasing And Refinement For Dummies: No Book Required" Sessions at the
upcoming ACA meeting in New Orleans, but the website will be made available as
a permanent learning resource. These sessions are geared especially for novice
to intermediate-advanced crystallographers, but should appeal to anyone.

P.S. It is of course possible that my bias and excitement led me to guess
incorrectly about the datasets to which your PI is referring ;)

Subject: [ccp4bb] Mock Dataset
My PI has mentioned a Mock Dataset made available by the ACA for various
programs (HKL etc) to practice with, but I haven't been able to find it and was
wondering if anyone knew of any,
Thanks,
Peter Randolph
