As co-editor of J Appl Cryst, handling teaching/education and computer
software mainly, J Appl Cryst is the appropriate journal in the IUCr
series for publishing new software, improved software, tutorials, etc.
We would strongly encourage you to submit such manuscripts to J Appl
Cryst, both 'biological' in nature and not. Such developments are of
broad interest to the crystallographic community. We have recently
handled soon-to-be-published papers of interest to the biological
community.

Interestingly enough (or not as the case maybe), the CCP4 study
weekend now goes out as the January issue of Acta D in order to try
and raise the impact rating. Something to do with the scoring
working on a calendar year.
