You have reached the (new) home of the PyMolWiki, a user-driven web-oriented CMS.

Helping

If you feel like helping out, please login and get to work.  :-) For design/layout purposes you must be logged in to edit pages. We now need people to assist with

• A wiki edit/user policy is needed.
• Wiki schema/design/organization: Below you'll find the current layout design
• Graphic design and CSS layout: We need logos, BG images and CSS layout
• Importing the email list content: We have (lots) of email to sift through, extract data from and import into the Wiki
• Etc...

Editors Needed

If you feel you have the time to help import data into the PyMol wiki, please email Tree.

We need your help. So join today & happy editing!
