  Hello all,

  Thigs go really slowly in summer, don't they ;) I just returned from a
wonderful week in the pyrinees, having walked around 70km in a beautiful
landscape of moutains and waterfalls... but that is over now, so let's go
down to buiseness ;)

  Most of the changes proposed were included. I just did not put the
emails from the committee. The reason is that it is in general a bad
policy to include emails in web pages. There are a lot of programs around
"harvesting" these addresses, and then using them as recipients of bulk
email. I will of course include anybody's address that tells me explicitly
to do so, but I would like to have prior consentment of each person. So,
if you want your email visible, just let me know ;)

  I also want to remember that only Xavier sent me the discription of
ABINIT. Please send me the description of your programs so I can include
then in the web pages.

  Regarding Wikis, databases, etc: I never felt the need to use a wiki,
and I would feel more confortable if only one or two persons could modify
the web pages. A compromise would be to have a wiki elsewhere and then
export the information to the web site on a regular basis. If the number
of programs exceeds around 30 I can setup a database system to handle it.
I have quite some experience with this type of things, so it will not be
much work ;) Before 30, a database is simply overkill!

  I will be here for the next 2 weeks, so my response time will
definitively improve :)
