This was not initiated by me, but I've signed up to support it: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/19727/computational-natural-sciences They keep changing the scope (feature creep), so that now it includes comp biol, phys too. I think that's a mistake. Comp chem will be swamped out. Not enough people have signed up to support it yet, so I don't know if it's going to make it out of beta. - Noel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
