There is, of course, the Neutron Mailing List, which you can subscribe to at http://neutronsources.org/mailman/listinfo/neutron. It has a very different character to this list. It is mostly a vehicle for making announcements about conferences, job positions, proposal calls, etc. We did experiment with a parallel list that was designed for the kinds of discussions that this list contains, but it generated so little traffic that we shut it down. It might have been bad timing or inadequate promotion, but I suspect that you have to have a fairly focussed topic supported, nevertheless, by a large expert community to be as successful as the Rietveld list is.
It would certainly be possible for neutronsources.org<http://neutronsources.org> to host other lists, perhaps even one that promotes joint neutron/x-ray experiments.

I'm sure many of us are active with non-Rietveld methods of analysing x-ray and neutron scattering data. Perhaps the list could expand accordingly and become something like the "X-ray and Neutron Scattering mailing list"? jools From: alan.he...@gmail.com<mailto:alan.he...@gmail.com> [mailto:alan.he...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Alan Hewat Sent: 10. mai 2015 23:26 To: Jonathan Wright Cc: rietveld_l@ill.fr<mailto:rietveld_l@ill.fr> Subject: Re: 3D powder averaging... ....... Doubtless others will respond with what is new and exciting with neutrons and PDF's, etc. (yes, that is a challenge). With the greatest respect, It is not always the new and exciting techniques that produce the best science. Certainly using imaging methods for powder diffraction is promising, but it would be brave to propose already that it will have an impact comparable to that of the Rietveld method. I hear what you say, and what has been achieved so far is quite good, but I would suggest that we wait a little before drawing conclusions. .... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please do NOT attach files to the whole list <alan.he...@neutronoptics.com<mailto:alan.he...@neutronoptics.com>> Send commands to <lists...@ill.fr<mailto:lists...@ill.fr>> eg: HELP as the subject with no body text The Rietveld_L list archive is on http://www.mail-archive.com/rietveld_l@ill.fr/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- Ray Osborn, Senior Scientist Materials Science Division Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, IL 60439, USA Phone: +1 (630) 252-9011 Email: rosb...@anl.gov<mailto:rosb...@anl.gov>
