Talk:EPR Equipment

I think their is a big commercial link accumulation their, no ?

-That's right - I've started this page as collection of links to commercial sites. Probably with time we'll have separate articles on general harware issues and commercially available equipment. Evgeny Fadeev 16:01, 24 April 2008 (MDT) Take a look at this Commercial_NMR_service_providers and this INMR

I was thinking to allow commercial providers to explain their stuff on the wiki - without charging them money. The idea is that they might actually start posting user documentation which would be helpful to us.

Francois, what do you think about this? Evgeny Fadeev 15:47, 24 April 2008 (MDT) 15:46, 24 April 2008 (MDT)

I will also soon install chat (hopefully this weekend)... it's kind of awkward to "chat" on random pages. Evgeny Fadeev 15:48, 24 April 2008 (MDT) May be this could be added no ?

I agree with this, but the problem, is that they should not put only a link on the webpage, I think the ratio of link versus text is too big. The other thing that I don't like too much is that a lot of things are redundant with the wikipedia page, what should be on wikipedia, what should be their ?

I saw that it was you that introduce this links, I think you should at least put them in cathegories, and the last one about liquide Helium transfert line, is very general, it could also be useful to refill a magnet, so create a page about working with cryogenic material, it'd be interesting.

A chat too would be useful, because it's not very easy to know what we should put where, and how to organize the stuff. I think soon I'll also open a webpage, with some programming stuff, bio computing, and a lot of other good things. I'm also thinking about doing a page about processing, and may be duplicate on NMR wiki ( I'll probably write it in a first time in french ). It's incredible how a little bit perl scripting allow to make processing obvious, at least for the Exp. multiplication, and for zero filling, and signal accumulation ) As far as ratio of links to text and amount organization - you are right - but all that takes time. I've posted link to transfer line because I am ordering one now for my facility :). That's a good way wiki often works for me - I post what I use now and might want to look at later. Also hydrogen exchange article - someone here is planning those experiments and I need good understanding of the field - so writing a review about that helps me.

As for NMRWiki versus Wikipedia - here we can be as technical as necessary and we can have all the extensions we might need. The only common thing I see here with wikipedia is same software. I am going to start creating some tools like the ones in the Online_data_tools so that people come and use site more often. When you write something accessible to general public - you have to explain things in simpler terms and that makes articles longer and harder to write. That's why I think there is a good niche for targeted community sites like this one. Plus we can make a hybrid wiki/blogs(a.k.a personal websites)/newsgroup/chat/social networking

Do you want a blog for your website? - I can set one up for you easily. (yourname).nmrwiki.org ? I have one: evgeny-fadeev.nmrwiki.org. If you want it - just let me know. In theory (and I hope this will be put in practice on nmrwiki) you can make blogs do all the same things as wiki (same extensions), except in the blog no-one else can mess with your posts.

Right now I've settled at wordpress system - seems to be liked by many and it is written in php like wiki - so it will be easier for me to blend some wiki code into blogs. With wordpress you can customize it's looks completely - it allows editing document stylesheets remotely.

Lastly, once I move site on a dedicated host (maybe some computer here in my school) I will be inviting others to do site administration too - that will make website more collaborational. If you can program and don't mind to join - you are welcome.
