It would be so nice to have a 'sister CCP' for questions aboud wet-lab

FWIW, the remit of CCP4BB, held at jiscmail-central, is describes as:
/The CCP4BB mailing list is for discussions on the use of the CCP4
suite, and macromolecular crystallography in general./
Thus wet-lab questions are not off-topic (not that anyone recently
described them as such).
Having said that, Jiscmail mailing lists are easy to set-up (providing
that you can reasonably expect that the mailing list will improve
knowledge sharing within the UK centered academic community) and
relatively low maintenance. I, for one, would not be entirely unhappy to
miss out on questions about lysis.
