All right: How about then putting in a NIH challenge grant (due April 27)
for image archiving? Who is in?

Dear Bernhard,

     Re-reading your previous message, I can see that I did indeed misread
it, and I apologise for that. Perhaps it was the expression "put to rest" in
relation to a topic where so much action is needed that made me charge in
the wrong direction.

     Although this "thread" is now attracting additional suggestions about
what else it might be a good thing to archive, this should not result in a
dilution of the urgency of this particular item. As for the argument that
any new task can only be done if there is extra money, then isn't this the
ideal time to argue that we need a "PDB stimulus package"? After all, the
PDB is a bank ... .


     With best wishes,

          Gerard.
