What's new ?

[Farhi]

Hy Kristian,

This all sounds great.
Please send me your 'clic and run' version of McStas.I'll be glad to test
it. What interface did you use : Tcl/Tk ? Java ? ...
We have a pre-meeting next week, Ian Anderson, Mark Johnson and I, to
organize tasks and fields of action.
A 'real' meeting should follow, with all interested users.

Concerning the Web mirror, you're right, just having a shared 'download'
page in order to be able to add stuff on the fly would be great, and reduce
your work load !
I will talk about this next week (I'm in vacation tomorrow night, till the
16th morning)

Cheers and have fun !
EF.
