We are happy to announce that effective Sept 12, 2016, the SBGrid Consortium began managing and maintaining PyMOLWiki. Many thanks to Jason Vertrees, who spent over 10 years creating, building, and maintaining this site, with a significant investment of personal time and resources for the benefit of the community. Jason invited SBGrid to take over this endeavor, knowing that the SBGrid Consortium is dedicated to facilitating access to software and training programs for structural biology. PyMOLWiki is an open source resource that will remain free for all members of the scientific community.
