Thanks for your nice work !
It is vacation time, so difficult to progress at a fast rate anyhow.
I guess you will have remarks from everybody, but ...
when back from vacation.
For me, the Web site as it is now is a very good starting point for 
further progress and discussion. I have some comments and suggestions :

1) One should identify on the Web pages who is doing the work, and
  who is taking the responsability of the content. I suggest that
you mention at the end of each page the name of the people
who maintain it (you, and the computer scientist of CECAM ?),
and the FSAtom committee, with links to e-mail addresses.
As an example, see the bottom of the abinit Web page 
(http://www.abinit.org).

2) I think it is now important to give access to the mailing list 
manager program on the Web site (of course, it will take some time
to you). When this will be done, I could contact all the members
of the workshop, to inform them that the Web site is available,
and that they can register both their e-mail adress and
their program.

These are likely the priority improvements.

3) One question : the salmon as part of the logo is nice, but has it any
particular meaning ? (I do not have a better proposal in any case -
even ABINIT has no logo presently)

4) For the time being, it is fine if people have to contact you
to register their program, but in the long term, we need a database,
and seaching tools, isn't it ?! We will have to discuss, later, how to 
set up such a system

5) The wiki, as suggested by Konrad, might be very nice for
our internal organisation. But this might need also some time
to be set up !

Actually, without having 4) and 5) on the tracks, as soon as
steps 1) and 2) are OK (may be beginning of september ?),
one could make a kind of "official"
inauguration of the site, by a mass mailing of the manifest,
to psi-k and SIMU networks ?!

Then, when sufficient people
will have registered, one should start the work groups ?!

What do you think ?  (well, not only Miguel, but all the
members of the FSAtom committee ... not on vacation ...!)

Best regards,
Xavier
