Well, it's free *as long as* the beta remains... might end tomorrow... I have no clue... BTW, I said I could download the data, but not entirely sure about that anymore... I see a Download tab... but does not work... perhaps that's part of the payment plan ... > I don't want to discourage you, No worries :) > but I have the impression that > StackOverflow sites are really most useful if there is a critical mass > of people. Yes, critical mass helps... the more mass, the more power... not sure if I can promote people to admin intentionally, overstepping the reputation growth... > How about considering the whole comp chem community rather > than just questions about BO (like compchem.stackexchange)? Well, this would be a nice platform to promote the ODOSOS ideas... if we embed it in comp chem, we can't expose that message without getting strange looks... Oh, hej, it's *them* again... BTW, it seems the CCL list increasingly sees worried emails from proprietary offerings, even replying when Open was explicitly asked for :) We do seem to make an impact :) > 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. Then again, perhaps there *is* enough BO mass... looking at the citation rate of the Blue Obelisk paper this is the case... And unlike CCL, at this forum even Joe Scientist from Acme Pharma can ask questions without anyone ever knowing he is interested in BO tools... Let's see how it goes... please make an account, add a dummy question, asking something that is already on the wiki or so... which can be easily answered :) and we trigger critical mass... it's not that difficult to reach minimum useful reputation...
