...my agitation for more comp chem failed, but it looks like an interesting experiment in any case...:-) - Noel O'Boyle

more comp chem sound good to me... more proprietary not, IMHO... - Egon Willighagen

but that's just me... - Egon Willighagen

How much more useful would a compchem SO be than CCL? (Well, you could easily filter out Gaussian questions!) - Rajarshi Guha

Have you ever heard the same question twice on a mailing list? Also, fewer ads...sorry, I mean commercial announcements. You'd also have way more people learning about Open Source software. Take Linux4Chemistry for example - that's advertising Open Source software by having it on the same footing as proprietary software. - Noel O'Boyle

Yeah, the commercial announcements actually make me loose interest in the CCL... and actually makes me very reluctant in mentioning the CDK when people ask about it... - Egon Willighagen

I'm not sure I understand the animus towards commercial s/w. Yes, ads bug me as well, but it's not like CCL is deluged with them (unless you consider Gaussian help requests). And why shouldn't the CDK be mentioned in the presence of commerical s/w announcements? - Rajarshi Guha

Oh, there is no reason not to mention the CDK... it's just that I think there are already 'but our product' replies enough... So, I just stopped doing it. - Egon Willighagen

The BlueObelisk StackExchange is more target, interactive, I can update my replies and give more detail. - Egon Willighagen

@Egon, all the more reason to answer the questions first :) Then everybody else is "me too" - Rajarshi Guha

Well, give it a week or so... and we can just reply to questions on CCL: "Please see this page at http://blueobelisk.stackexchange.com/ of a range of solutions" :) - Egon Willighagen
