Interesting discussion, html may allow graphics but doesn't still mean

Hi again all
I’m no expert but after some quick googling it seems that wordpress, which
seems to fall under GNU-GPL, may be what a contender. It talks to facebook and
has 1000s of forum type plugins.
Or, how about https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:dokuwiki

the value of the Rietveld list but pictures are also useful.
It was recently bought to my attention that funding may be related to
public perceptions of research and for this reason we should pay

Dear All,
is there any possibility to link facebook (or another social platforms) with
this email list? E.g. if somebody send email to reitveld list, this will be
automatically posted also to facebook and if somebody responds or posts a new
question to facebook, it will be posted also to the
Jon,
There is no problem to have pictures in the email. Just need to use HTML format
for your email.
But you have raised an important question: public perceptions. Uni Geneva has

Dear All,
I think that Jan’s idea may be a good compromise. Facebook has a great
visibility among the youngsters, and it may give us more ‘appeal’ in general. I
like the mailing list and how it works, but my feeling is that many of the
young crystallographers don’t even know what a mailing list
Hi Alan,
I have nothing against the evolution of communication tools, protocols etc.
Yes, why not to evolve Rietveld mailing list to Rietveld_wiki? Maybe good time
to change also the name.
But I think that the (a)social networks are not a good choice. Already because

Dear all,
my five cents to this discussion, if I may add.
The problem of facebook for me is that there is no search mechanism. As a
consequence, questions one and the same will appear again and again as we saw
here and how it is on ResearchGate now. Add content built-in filtering on top

the Idea of Radovan to link the archive is very good and I will do it

hehe, well played Lubo. People can define themselves as they wish, the
problem is the impression we produce in others with our
self-definitions.

Hi All,
I don't mind which forum the Rietveld list is conducted on - I can use most of
them.
However, the critically important issue (mentioned a little earlier in the
thread) is that we do not dilute where the requests/information is posted - we
are not a very large community and cannot
Too many channels = crystallographer's death (freely translated from an old
proverb Too many hunters= rabbit's death).
Rather to express my opinion that if you have too many options where to look
for an info, you spend too much time before you find it.
Why the troglodytes should learn Facebook?
BTW: I will declare my vested interest in this discussion: I would love for
users of programs like GSAS/Fox/TOPAS/Full-prof etc... to ask scientific
questions in scientific forums rather each program having its own web page

That's encouraging Alan. Thanks. Concerning the number of posts you are
right - there are fewer now. I would like to think it's because we have an

How many general scientific questions do you receive, Alan? I remember to

I can never write something and have it interpreted the way I want it to be.
The written word is so hopeless – in my hands that is.

I apologize for not being precise. I meant ‘no relevant search mechanism’. Of
course there is some search engine, but it suffers the same illnesses:
‘infinite scrolling’ instead of complete list, no complex filtering.
