I think the example questions you posted are all suitable for the existing Blue Obelisk eXchange (BOx). This Q&A is more general about chemistry, and not about quantum chemistry in particular, but proper tagging can overcome that, I think. The questions and answers vary in quality, and its community is currently not sure about when to jump in and improve existing questions. Additionally, it's hard to develop a community where people vote up and down questions actively. Even getting people answering to up or downvote a question is tricky. However, on the bright site, it's not just the known Blue Obelisk addicts who reply. We do have answers showing how closed source tools fit in. Indeed, the BOx is also about what ODOSOS tools cannot do yet, and how closed and open tools fit into the mixed environments. (Seriously, if we start complaining about Blue Obelisk developers using proprietary tools (I known of none who are 100% Open), we'd get nowhere. They who are without any closed source tool, cast the first stone.) Summarizing, the Quixote community would be most welcome to hang out on the BOx. If this requires updating texts about the site, let's discuss that. Egon -- Dr E.L.
