Hi again all

I’m no expert but after some quick googling it seems that wordpress, which 
seems to fall under GNU-GPL, may be what a contender. It talks to facebook and 
has 1000s of forum type plugins. 

Or, how about https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:dokuwiki

"DokuWiki is a simple to use and highly versatile Open Source wiki software 
that doesn't require a database. It is loved by users for its clean and 
readable syntax. The ease of maintenance, backup and integration makes it an 
administrator's favorite. Built in access controls and authentication 
connectors make DokuWiki especially useful in the enterprise context and the 
large number of plugins contributed by its vibrant community allow for a broad 
range of use cases"

There are certainly options out there but I guess getting someone to administer 
the site is an obstacle.

Cheers
Alan

Jon,

There is no problem to have pictures in the email. Just need to use HTML format 
for your email.

But you have raised an important question: "public perceptions". Uni Geneva has 
already everythink: 
http://www.unige.ch/communication/diffuser/mediassociaux.html

I hope we will not start to discuss this question now.

Jan Rohlicek proposes to link email with (a)social networks. Simple (?) and 
constructive idea.

Thanks Davide for this useful initiative, I have joined. I don't doubt the 
value of the Rietveld list but pictures are also useful. 

It was recently bought to my attention that funding may be related to "public 
perceptions" of research and for this reason we should pay attention to things 
like twitter. CERN have made a nice campaign recently with #RestartLHC and 
#13TeV. If you want to, you can read tweets about powder diffraction already:

... or find a nice job:

The signal to noise ratio on twitter can be surprisingly good when following 
people like @MikeGlazer1 or @HelliwellJohn. If you don't want to read those 
things then that is fine too, at least none of it comes into your inbox.

Cheers,

Jon
