Although I cannot claim that it is a complete list, I would still like to share it with you all during a 15 mins talk (tops!) [if you have a viz tool you want to promote pls do let me know i ll try it out too!]

And it seems to me, a smooth experience for users from all sorts of background is a key to expand the user base of QE.

I would rather have this talk (15 mins tops!) before the "activities, organization of QEF" talk, so that we could get to discuss what i have to suggest as well, if some of you think it makes sense.

We think that a good period could be just before, during or just after the Total Energy, to be held in Trieste 10th-12th January 2013 (note that the Total Energy is followed by a workshop that involves some of us, from the 14th to the 18th). Could you please send us an email with your preferred dates?
