Hi Mauro, Such an interesting email! I can think of a number of avenues that might be useful for you to pursue -- most imporantly: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/tdl Perhaps you could tell us what you are interested in doing. What new capabilities are you interested in implementing? What idea do you have about making that happen? B PS. In the last few weeks, I have been making a lot of progress on Demeter after a long time away. I doubt that I have fixed any particular complaint, since I have been working on some stuff that is pretty far from the user (or even application programmer) end of things. I don't want to discourage you from pursuing other avenues, but it would be helpful to me to know what you think the obvious short-comings are.

Hello all,
As a daily-user of Ifeffit&friends I found many times the necessity to implement new functionalities for XAFS analysis that surround Athena and Artemis. At the moment the Fortran/C/Perl/Python/Tcl interfaces to Ifeffit are great and Bruce's Demeter OO-project is fantastic but still broken in some important functions (I know that developing an open source project is a lot of voluntary work).
For these reasons I would like to know your point of view on the idea to find a standard in the creation of Ifeffit applications in order to permit the interested community to contribute/share in the programming effort. Practically speaking, if someone would like to implement a new functionality based on the Ifeffit library which directives should follow to integrate the existing applications?
Cheers, M.
