Dear Cmdrd,
as we want to strictly separate the master database and the publicly visible one, the plan is to update the database weekly. Since we still haven't migrated to our dedicated server and since the v1.1 will give access to a number of additional data tables, we decided to do everything in one go in a first big update, which will however take a bit longer.

Together with our friends at Harvard Research Computing, we are planning to implement a few changes to improve our long-term backup setup on the tape robot. We’ve been thinking and talking about this for a while and finally want to get it done.

Dear svincent,
your request is a bit tricky because we shouldn't really speak about the details of ongoing work of our partners and collaborators - they are operating in a highly competitive academic environment. But what we can say from the CEPDB traffic analysis is that people do in fact sign up and check it out. We can also say that we are in contact with other groups interested in the data and which have access to more detailed data than what is already available publicly. We are also actively working on 2nd generation candidate libraries which explicitly incorporate feedback from collaborators (one point of criticism of the current ones are for instance that many of the candidates are challenging for synthesis).

Thanks for the response cleanenergy: look forward to hearing more when you're in a position to talk about it.

The first molecules from our new 2nd generation candidate library will hit the grid in the coming days.
