Hi Troels,
This is a really good idea! I would have started this a long time ago
but, because the Gna! infrastructure does not support PHP, a wiki was
never possible. It would be possible to set this up but for an open
source project we will have to first make the wiki migratable.
Therefore I would suggest first writing a script to be added to the
devel_scripts directory which will make a mirror copy of the backend
of the wiki. That way a subset of the relax developers could set up a
cronjob with this script, just as is down with the relax subversion
repository and the relax mailing lists (see the backup_repository and
backup_mailing_lists scripts). This backup would need to be
sufficient to set up the wiki on another server. This is simply part
of the strategy for having all parts of relax survive forever,
independent of who comes and goes from the project (including myself).
The URL http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/ is a good idea. I have paid for
the http://www.nmr-relax.com/ domain name myself, through Godaddy, and
I am able to set up this subdomain. I will set this up for testing
but to be permanent the backup script for easy migration will be
needed. Ok, it is now activated.
I also have a few suggestions/questions for the wiki design:
- I was wondering if you thought it would be possible for users to
upload scripts to such a wiki? If so, how would this be implemented?
- You can use one of the relax icons with a transparent background
from the graphics/ directory rather than the current one with a white
background.
- The project is called simply 'relax' and not 'NMR relax'. The
reason I had to use http://www.nmr-relax.com is that the relax.com
domain name was not available. I have used it in a few other places,
again because the name 'relax' was not available (for example at
https://www.ohloh.net/p/nmr-relax and
http://freecode.com/projects/nmr-relax).
- The title will need modification as relax supports almost all NMR
dynamics analysis types. Relaxation dispersion is only a small subset
of what relax can do. Therefore it might be good to have an
organisation around the different analysis types.
- We should discuss the licence for the content. Would it be possible
to use the same licence as the relax website
(http://www.nmr-relax.com/fdl.html)?
Cheers,
Edward

Dear relax developers.
I felt the need to create a wiki, to document my own progress into the relax
use.
Much in the same way the pymol wiki serves an excellent resource of
information.
I was noting information down in our internal lab wiki about relax, but
found it more useful if more
users could take advantage of this information.
At the moment, it is located at my brothers domain:
http://nmr-relax.kimlinnet.dk
I hope when it has matured, and after a little discussion of format, it can
be moved to:
http://www.wiki.nmr-relax.com/
My most strong motivation, was that I last year made a tutorial at the pymol
wiki, for
a course in biochemistry. Returning the following year with teaching in the
same course,
I noticed over 8000 views. Not bad.
I see a wiki as an excellent possibility for "quickly" noting and improving
information, which is
not readily available in the manual or other "places"
I try to make links to the relax online manual and API, and then improving
with contents I myself
would find useful, or that I find answers to.
If some pages has a large "hit-rate" it could be considered valuable to
"rewrite / port" the information into
the relax manual? And with the text "kind-of" available, it should not take
to long time to "copy/paste/modify" it.
