Dear Colleague,
Termination of CCP13
Many small-angle scatterers
and fibre diffractionists will be familiar with CCP13, the software project
that commenced in January 1992.
In addition to developing
useful software for the analysis of SAS and fibre data, CCP13 spawned the
journal Fibre Diffraction Review, and acted as a global lynch pin for the
community.
In 2005 the
In the near future the CCP13
website at www.ccp13.ac.uk will be shut down for
good. However much of its content has already been transferred to a new
server based at the Diamond Light Source, and new domain names have been
secured thanks to the generosity of Diamond and the ISIS Neutron Source.
There is, as yet, no funding
to continue developing software, but there are limited resources to maintain
the existing archive. Instead it is hoped to make the original CCP13
source code available to skilled developers in the community, on the
understanding that they allow us to redistribute any improvements.
Closure of CCP13 Bulletin Board
The CCP13 listserver (ccp13bb@dl.ac.uk) will also be shutdown in
the near future. If you want to continue to receive announcements of a
SAS-specific nature then we would encourage you
to subscribe to the IUCr small-angle scattering listserver (which is
moderated!) at
NEW website
The new website we have put
together is called 'Software for Small-Angle
Scattering' – perhaps not a name that will win any awards but
at least you will know what you are getting! - and we hope that it will become
a one-stop shop for your SAS software and SAS resource needs.
You have a choice of URL's
to bookmark depending on your SAS background (they both point to the same site!):
If you have any SAS-related
software, workshops or other resources that you would like the website to
promote, please get in touch. Details on the website!
With our best regards,
Tim Wess (CCP13 Chairman)
Nick Terrill (Diamond)
