This inofficial CCP4 wiki is meant to be a collection of crystallographic knowledge centered around the 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?").

The intention is that this wiki reflect the breadth of topics on CCP4BB, which will make it a useful ressource e.g. for "frequently asked questions", offloading some of the question/answer traffic on CCP4BB to a more permanent ressource. 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 inofficial CCP4 wiki could be transferred to the official one.

What is CCP4?
