Based on previous Emails, a tentative current starting list is below for 
modification:

(unless we are asked to cut things down - I don't think it would be
a bad thing to specialise.  If power people want to see what protein
people are up to and visa-versa - they can always just go to
the session rather than force groups together - and dilute things
down)

1. Advances in computational methods for protein crystallography
2. Advances in computational methods for powder diffraction
3. Advances in computational methods for small molecule crystallography
4. Problems and solutions in programming robust CIF into crystallographic software
5. The algorithms behind handling Quasicrystals in crystallographic software
6. Computational problems and solutions in incommensurate structures
7. Innovations in computing and reporting for service based crystallography
8. Applying non-crystallographic algorithms to crystallography
??? - others?

Lachlan.
