Victor,

Sorry to see this come to an end.  Even though I never directly took advantage of your site, I found it very useful.

Your database is something that needs to be added to and kept alive.

Wishing you all the very best in the years to come.  Thanks for doing such a great job and filling in the missing pieces.  What are your plans for the future?

Dear Jan,

 

first of all, I would like to wholeheartedly join my colleagues in expressing their thanks!

 

May I suggest that after shutting down you provide a ‘final’ database dump of CCL to a public repository, e.g. Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/)? I would think that this could be a great resource for coming historians of science. (I know, history is a big word, but yeah, at some point we will all be dead …) It seems likely that in the future such data archives will be very easily accessible with data science methods also to non-specialists and not totally unlikely that people will indeed be interested in mapping how discussions of certain topics developed over time.

 

Best wishes & thanks again,
Martin

Dear CCL Subscribers,

CCL Closure

With some melancholic feelings I need to announce that I will be closing the CCL Mailing list, i.e., the mail sent to chemistry-#-ccl.net will no longer distribute messages to CCL Subscribers. It will happen within a week or two. This service is just no longer used, that is, it is no longer needed. Yet, operating this kind of service is a lot of work due to the overwhelming level of spam attempts and also exploits to attack the server. On top of this, I am getting senile, and keeping up with these developments becomes a burden. So, at some point (a week or two) the address chemistry-#-ccl.net and corresponding Web pages to submit messages to the list, will no longer distribute email to subscribers.

I will try to keep the CCL Web site running for a bit longer, so if you need to grab something from there, you still have a month or two. Also, since there are some unexpired position openings announcements ( https://server.ccl.net/jobs ), I need to run this site, as it was my commitment. I plan to do some traveling later this summer and fall, and I will probably close the CCL Web site at this time. Leaving the server without monitoring is becoming a very risky proposition lately.

I would like to thank all CCL participants, for being with me. Some of you were members of CCL Community for a long time. It makes me believe, that at some point, it was a useful service, and it helped Computational Chemistry to gain more popularity.

Thank you for participating... It was a honor!
