ECACOMSIG: Re: Sept 15 Deadline for proposals.

[Lachlan Cranswick <l.m.d.cranswick@dl.ac.uk>]

Based on the messages sent (and hopefully I have not mislaid the plot more
than usual):

Would it be worth while having a small molecule/powder diffraction session
and a separate macromolecular session on the topic of automation?
