The over 300 participants of the Rietveld mailing list have agreed with attempting to convert the existing mailing list to a full Usenet newsgroup. This is to enable easier discussion of scientific issues relating to the Rietveld based applications to a full Usenet newsgroup. This is to enable easier discussion of scientific issues relating to the Rietveld based applications via newsreading software and create an "open" Rietveld resource on the internet/Usenet. This would also help negate concerns that are inhibitting discussions on the basis that mail boxes are already too cluttered.
If created, the old mailing list will still be mirrored to the newsgroup so that subscribers without newsgroup access can continue participating. While the method was originally created by Hugo Rietveld for the refinement of crystal structures, it has greatly expanded beyond these borders to include such fields as quantitative phase analysis, crystallite size and strain analysis.
The newsgroup sci.techniques.xtallography.rietveld will be an open discussion forum for the international Rietveld research community on the internet/Usenet.
