[edit] Layout of the FAQ?
Should we drop all entries by one header? Not sure if this will tidy things up... --Dan 22:18, 13 September 2007 (KST)
- Yes, why not?--Dan 02:38, 24 January 2008 (KST)

[edit] Processing the PDB-L archive?
In the absence of a better place to organise this, I'll start a section here for us to divide up the work.

[edit] What other molecular viewers should be listed?
There are several other molecular viewers which are not listed in the FAQ page. Most of them probably have some unique features and advantages. But how many should be listed without being more confusing than helpful? For the moment, we can collect other packages here. Basic criteria should probably be that the programs are general-purpose, freely available at least for academic use and support the most common molecular formats (specifically PDB and mmCIF). --Henning 22:44, 26 March 2008 (KST)
