[neutron-mc] Revival of the neutron simulation mailing list

[Kim Lefmann]

Dear fellow simulators,

I am happy to announce the revival of the mailing list at
neutron-mc at risoe.dk. Our technical problems seem to be solved, and I hope
that you will contribute to the list with announcements, opinions,
questions, answers, and comments as before. The mailing list runs on a new
platform, and you have all recieved the first automatic mail from the new
system.

I am even more happy to announce Peter Willendrup as the new tecnical
responsible of McStas, as of July 1st. Peter replaces Per-Olof AAstrand,
who is now a full professor of Theoretical Chemistry in Trondheim, Norway.
Peter has a background in experimental physics and computational science,
and he is now working full time on McStas. I am convinced that after a
short start-up period we will be able to retain the level of McStas user
support that we had earlier.

Other issues high on the McStas agenda are
- Upgrade McStas to version 1.6 and beyond
- Release of a component manual
- Continuing the code comparison project,
- Continuing the construction of "real" sample components
More information on these issues will come later.


All the best, and many happy simulations

       Kim
