I agree entirely. I increasingly need a helping hand to do the routine work
in running the W3VL:Crystallography pages so that I can think about and
undertake further developments of the content and presentation.
I thought that Arthur's suggestion of adding the icons of organisations that
support materially and financially particular W3VL pages as icons at the end
of the file, a very good idea. So good that I implemented it on all of my
W3VL pages yesterday. (Don't tell me the unige icon is too big - I know but
could not find a more suitable one in my rush.)
In fact crystallography is very-well organised on the international level
within an international scientific union called 'The International Union
of Crystallography' (IUCr) which is a member of the International Council of
Scientific Unions. I have been involved in IUCr activities for years (yes,
I'm old, >50) and am just about to start negociations with the IUCr executive
to try and obtain financial support from them for the W3VL: Crystallography.
Other W3VL editors of pure or applied science pages might think about
contacting the respective scientific union for their subject matter. These
organisations tend however to be rather conservative and you need the guidance
of someone who knows the ropes to be successful.
Best wishes,
Howard
