Dear All,
a brief comment - you remember JF Kennedy saying "Don't ask what Quantum-ESPRESSO can do for you, but what you can do for Quantum-ESPRESSO" ? The idea here is that if Q-E is indeed an important tool for your work or research, it would be great to contribute something back to the community (btw, this is my own stance, not a Q-E policy !). The simplest form is to contribute to the wiki: http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page You can register by asking Nicola Bonini ( bonini at mit.edu ) to open you an account, and then you can update it - e.g. adding your own papers to the bibliography (this is really an *ethical imperative*, if you use Q-E), or summarizing in a FAQ something that has been asked over and over again in the mailing list. Of course, an even more special way of contributing is to help iron out all bugs in the code, or, even better, contributing new capabilities (an excellent example in the last few days was for some hybrid DFT functional). More complex efforts, linked or not to QE, can even be hosted in the "umbrella" page www.qe-forge.org , that is meant to be a tool for developers of any atomistic code. Thanks ! nicola --------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Nicola Marzari Department of Materials Science and Engineering 13-5066 MIT 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge MA 02139-4307 USA tel 617.4522758 fax 2586534 marzari at mit.edu http://quasiamore.mit.edu
