Dear Ton, The computing school program looks good. I have only a couple of small comments. The session 'Statistical treatment of errors' should be called 'statistical treatment of uncertainties'. Errors are not things that can be usefully treated in a statistical manner, but uncertainties are and these are what we generally deal with. For example, lattice paramters are often quoted with very small standard uncertainties but include errors that are orders of magnitude larger. The second point is that the session on diffuse scattering should include a mention of the use of pair distribution functions for unravelling short range order in crystals. A good example can be found in JACS 2002, 124, 10157-62. This is an approach that goes beyond the Rietveld refinement and includes all the diffuse scattering as well as the Bragg reflections. Its computing requirements are quite different and deserve a mention.
