DL_SOFTWARE Portal

The former DisCo FORUM facility (UBB threads based) holding the forums for projects like DL_POLY, DL_MESO, DL_FIELD and ChemShell is now replaced by the DL_SOFTWARE portal facility
http://community.hartree.stfc.ac.uk/portal/site/DL...
a Sakai portal hosted as part of the STFC’s Hartree Centre.

The facility is a platform of collaborative tools, offering various channels for discussion. Thus it allows the community to contribute and preserve ideas and knowledge by exchanging information on any aspect of the DL_SOFTWARE suites and the science that can be carried out with them, whether it be a query, report, recommendation or proposal.

For example, if you are commencing a new line of research you could request for advice and information. If you have problems or fixes for particular architectures you could post them at the forum, trend them on the Wiki, send them as private Messages, discuss them in the Chat Room and share files via Resources. You may also answer, comment or highlight interesting observation on any of the information channels as well as look and test the shared files in Resources. You may also like to share your own findings on a neat way of doing something, or an exciting results of your or someone else's research. Further to all this you could also advertise opportunities for jobs, events or funding by using the announce facility.

The possibilities are immense. The portal is there for you to promote science and modelling software by exchanging and sharing information with other members.

It is only the forums, resources and announcements that can be browsed anonymously. If you would like to join the facility in order to use all tools offered to their full functionality, please use the following google form:
