Matt: Since I am effectively the sysadmin for the International Xafs Society server, I would be happy to coordinate. We are in the process of migrating the server to a pair of "new" machines and this should be taken care of within a few weeks. These are not really state of the art machines but much better than the one that is currently there. Whatever I can do to help (including setting up a wiki if that is what is best) pelase let me know. Carlo On Wed, 26 Nov 2003, Matt Newville wrote:
Hi Bruce and Everyone,
I have started a page of user contributed materials. Here's the URL:
http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/contrib.html
Scott's tutorial is there.
I'd certainly enjoy having more things to put on that page....
First, thanks for the contribution, Scott! That's really great.
Another approach might be to make a set of web pages that many users could directly contribute to, using a wiki or other web-based content-management software that doesn't require direct intervention to the web-server machine (that is, content is edited and saved solely through web pages). This could have the potential advantages of letting Scott (and/or anyone else) update tutorials and docs at their discretion and of allowing one to make contributions from an internet cafe in Nepal (without loss of generality!).
Such things are certainly possible: I think I could set something like this on our web server. If so, I'd hope to dedicate it to XAFS in general rather than just Athena/Artemis/Ifeffit. It might be nice to coordinate this with the International XAFS Society.
Is this worth doing?? Would people take advantage of it?
