[cctbxbb] [ccp4bb] Staff Scientist position At Protein Production And Structure Core facility -- EPFL ---Switzerland

[Paul Adams]

Thanks James for bringing this up, and Dorothee for the suggestions. There is some documentation already on the web at:

	https://cctbx.github.io

I think this is what we should probably link to when we provide a link for the cctbx on a web site. I personally don’t find the github project page very helpful in pointing to this documentation - maybe that can be fixed. 

As to James’s original question, I think it would be great if we could do something (i.e. funded) to support documentation of cctbx. I’m open to all ideas.

In fact, a couple of people representing different groups said that the lack of documentation was a major reason for not using cctbx within their groups.

So if this is still possible, we might be able to apply for some money to employ someone for a period of time to do this.
