Dear Colleague,
We have started a new astronomical software directory, Skysoft, available at the address http://www.skysoft.org, and we have added your software to our database. The relative information was found on the web, but can be incomplete or inaccurate, so please visit our site to integrate it. Also if you know of other software or people who would be interested in contributing, please let me know, and give them the Skysoft URL. At the end of this mail, we give a summary of site self-portrait.
Thank you for your attention, Best regards
Carlo Baffa INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri baffa@arcetri.astro.it Largo Fermi 5 http://www.skysoft.org I-50125-Firenze ITALY ----
From the site:
Skysoft is a YAASD (Yet Another Astronomical Software Directory), but with a different overall approach. Our choice is to design this site as a community supported directory. The idea is that, like a chat session, content remains timely because of frequent user interaction. Users and developers are invited to contribute with software news, user's views, comments and bugs notifications. This site is designed so that software developers acquire more visibility because of astronomical context. Developers can post a brief description of their product, with the classification which can ease the search and retrieval of software projects.
Our goal is to be useful to both end-users and developers. We host all software kinds, from general data reduction packages, to specialized libraries, to small specific tools.
