[Nmrshiftdb-users] NMRShiftDB and your contribution

[Christoph S. <c.s...@un...>]

Dear NMRShiftDB users,

In recent weeks, NMRShiftDB has been gaining 1 to 3 registered users per=20
day. At the moment, we are at around 412.
I would like send a hearty welcome to all of you who recently subscribed.

This email is to once again point out that the idea of growth by=20
contributions from the users is the central idea of the NMRShiftDB=20
project. Currently, only 5 percent of all registered(!) users (not to=20
mention the invisible majority) have contributed. And I should mention=20
that the majority of datasets stems from contributors who are not listed=20
in the hall of fame.

So, my appeal to you is to consider contributing datasets for NMRShiftDB=20
at whatever rate you can live with. With only 300 users contributing 1=20
dataset per week, we will end up with a very nice growth rate.
Also, there might be inhouse collections of NMR data at your=20
institution, which you could contribute - we even write the parser for yo=
u.

Last not least, it would be nice if people could use this=20
nmrshiftdb-users mailing list for discussion, comments, criticism, etc.
The project is very alive and new users arrive every day - the emergence=20
of a real NMRShiftDB community would make it an even greater success.

Best Greetings,

Christoph Steinbeck
