Nice!! I looked into this before, but I thought you had to pay like $80 a month or so to set up one of these.
I don't want to discourage you, but I have the impression that StackOverflow sites are really most useful if there is a critical mass of people. How about considering the whole comp chem community rather than just questions about BO (like compchem.stackexchange)? A rising tide lifts all boats so it wouldn't matter that some people would be asking questions about Gaussian, they would still be exposed to BO software and start to realise that CCL.net and QCPE may not be the future of compchem. - Noel 2009/11/11 Egon Willighagen <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > again grant writing is blocked by that nasty writers block > phenomenon...
