Dear Kay,
That looks to be an excellent start. I should like to add SHELXL as well
as SHELXC/D/E, there are regularly questions about it in CCP4bb. I'm not
quite clear about how to generate enough material to make it useful,
obviously you don't want to simply copy the SHELX manual, and similar
comments would apply to other programs. To make it more complicated,
crystallographic programs are moving targets (though some move faster
than others). Perhaps the best way would be to go through the CCP4bb
archive and try to extract a useful consensus, though even that would
be a lot of work.
Best wishes, George

Dear all,
I want to bring two crystallographic wikis to your attention, asking for your
contribution:
1) CCP4 user community wiki:
http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Main_Page
This wiki was planned by Tassos and me, and Artem and Clemens joined us
lately. Unfortunately this has almost no contents so far, but we hope that
people who post answers on the CCP4 mailing list will take the time and
compose/edit the corresponding articles of the wiki. The intention is that the
wiki will capture the breadth of topics on CCP4BB, which will make it a useful
resource e.g. for frequently asked questions, offloading some of the
question/answer traffic on CCP4BB to a more permanent mode of storage.
2) XDSwiki: http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/XDS
for XDS users. This has quite a bit of information already. The purpose of
this wiki is to provide an accurate resource for XDS users, and to provide
explanations and hints for the successful use of XDS. It has Tips and Tricks
for XDS usage, explanations of its output, and recommendations for the
parameters in XDS.INP (if it appears useful to deviate from their defaults).
Hoping that these wikis will be useful, and that many people contribute!
