Dear colleagues,

First, I would like to wish you all the best in the new year! Let you light scattering simulations be faster and more
accurate than you expect!

Second, let me bring your attention to a Python wrapper for ADDA - https://github.com/aquilesC/plasmon_adda . Actually,
Aquiles Carattino has created it 11 years ago, but he has recently updated it to become even more useful. Especially, I
appreciate the design explanation at https://github.com/aquilesC/plasmon_adda/blob/main/docs/tutorial.md . While there
are already many Python wrappers for ADDA and more will appear in the future, I recommend everyone, who is developing
(or thinking about) his own wrapper, to at least read this file. Not sure if there will ever be the one "official"
wrapper, but I think that reusing best practices from existing wrappers is definitely a way to go.

Maxim.

Hello Sir. I hope you are doing well. I have generated a spectrum of core-shell geometry by calling main ADDA from a shell script and have made a provision of asking for refractive indices of cre and shell from a list of refractive indices found from literatures used widely. Do not know if this will be helpful or not for the community using ADDA. I have got my doctoral degree and have used this simulation.

Dear Atrayee,

Yes, sharing the scripts that you used to produce the data (e.g., those used in published papers) is always a good idea
as a part of open-science approach. With respect to ADDA, there are two standard options to do it:
- put your script online (in some git repository) accompanying it with sufficient description and/or examples to enable
its reuse by others. This is completely analogous to plasmon_adda or other wrappers mentioned at
https://github.com/adda-team/adda/wiki/Links#codes-that-use-adda . You can also compare your script with existing ones
to better highlight the unique features of your script. Once the repository is ready, you can let me know and I will add
to this list as well.
- alternatively, you may submit it to ADDA repository as an example based on your paper. See
https://github.com/adda-team/adda/wiki/InstructionCommitters#examples for instructions.

Maxim.
