This wiki is meant to be a collection of crystallographic knowledge centered around the [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/main.html CCP4 project]. It may contain information about anything relevant to protein crystallographers, be it methods-related ("what is the best program for purpose X?"), problem-oriented ("my crystals melt if I look at them"), or even concerning hardware ("what is your opinion on robot X / computer Y?"). Please see [[Topics]] for a list of (possible) items.
This CCP4 user wiki is meant to be a collection of crystallographic knowledge as discussed on the [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/main.html CCP4] mailing list, and elsewhere. It may contain information about anything relevant to protein crystallographers, whether methods-related ("what is the best program for purpose X?"), problem-oriented ("my crystals melt if I look at them"), or concerning hardware ("what is your opinion on robot X / computer Y?"). Please see [[Topics]] for a list of (possible) items.  


The intention is that this wiki reflect 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. Many interesting questions are currently being answered on the CCP4 bulletin board, but the answers are not easily accessible for others after some time. A wiki has the additional advantage that mathematical formulas and images may be presented nicely.

When there is an official CCP4 wiki, all pages from this wiki could be transferred to the official one.
