New web-based tools for ADDA
Maxim Yurkin
As you have noticed, we are using a new mailing list for announcements. The reason for that is that I have moved to
Novosibirsk last year, hence we decided to make ADDA development more international. We created Google project a-dda
("adda" was already occupied, unfortunately) - http://code.google.com/p/a-dda/ - which contains a number of useful tools
(features).
- downloads, containing all official releases starting from 0.78.2 (a single one for now).
- issue tracker, currently it contains more than 60 issues, which show the track of future development. The nice thing
is that you may comment or "star" existing issues (influencing their priorities) or add new issues yourself (only Google
account is required).
- subversion repository (source), containing the current pre-release source code of ADDA. Both web-based and anonymous
svn access is possible.
- three associated mailing list based on Google groups: adda-announce (this one; anyone can subscribe, only authors may
post), adda-questions (for asking any questions related to ADDA; anyone can subscribe and post), adda-develop (used by
authors).
Please go to the project page http://code.google.com/p/a-dda/ for more information about these tools. The good old ADDA
homepage http://www.science.uva.nl/research/scs/Software/adda/ is still operational and provides general description of
the code.
Please also mind, that official name of the code is now ADDA, where DDA stands for Discrete Dipole Approximation, while
'A' may (unofficially) stand for Amsterdam, Akademgorodok, Advanced, etc. We invite you to try these new tools
(especially issue tracker), and comment on them, while we are preparing next release of ADDA.
The final thing: my old e-mail addresses (myu...@science.uva.nl and M.A.Y...@uva.nl) were supposed to forward
everything to yur...@gmail.com. However, it stopped working this way silently around beginning of this year, and I have
noticed that only recently. So if you sent me any e-mails this year to those old addresses, please resend them to
yur...@gmail.com.
Best regards,
Maxim Yurkin.
