This [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ CCP4] user community wiki ("CCP4 wiki" in short) is meant to be a collection of crystallographic knowledge as discussed on the [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4bb.php CCP4 mailing list] (CCP4BB), 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?"). | This [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ CCP4] user community wiki ("CCP4 wiki" in short) is meant to be a collection of crystallographic knowledge as discussed on the [http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4bb.php CCP4 mailing list] (CCP4BB), and elsewhere.

2015: For some time, account creation has been enabled again. | |||
Nov 30, 2011: Due to the amount of spam created, we had to stop self-service account creation - send us a personal email (karsten. schaefer at uni-konstanz.de, or kay.diederichs at uni-konstanz.de) and we'll open account creation for you. | |||
April 04, 2008: transparent inter-wiki linking is now very easy due to an extension called "[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Special_page_to_work_with_the_interwiki_table SpecialInterwiki]". These links appear like internal links (see the next sentences!), and can point to subsections of an article, or to figures (untested!). This also means that if a wiki changes its DNS name, only a single inter-wiki link has to be updated. | April 04, 2008: transparent inter-wiki linking is now very easy due to an extension called "[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Special_page_to_work_with_the_interwiki_table SpecialInterwiki]".
