Not posting reduces our reading load, but the point of AMMRL to generate discussion, and assist each other in an informal manner, and any question you post likely will have many others out there wondering about the same, or similar, issues.

And other personal/facility websites similarly provide Bruker sequences. I have made pdf (and non-posted Word) listings of all Bruker-provided sequences for AC spectrometers--which allows for searching an simpler review--and could do similar for the AVANCE sequences, if this would be useful. Perhaps Bruker has some repository I am unaware of.

Best in this context simply means that person/group/facility has used the sequence, and finds that it works properly. It may (or not, as the case may be) appear to be superior in some way to alternative sequences. It was not defined from the discussion group how to generate or manage such recommendations.

Tentatively I set up a MediaWiki for pulse sequences and related
informations.
Please feel free to check this out.
You get a first impression after starting
http://pp.ammrl.org (no www ....)
You need the user account "ammrl" with the password "lrmma". It's our
workgroup
server. Please accept this low level of protection.
What you see is a rough table of contents together with two random pulse
sequences.
The funny thing is: everybody can change the information or add new
informations. Furthermore there is always a parallel discussion page for
comments of any kind.
Don't hesitate to play a little bit with the system. Whatever you do,
nothing can go wrong. There is a full release history available and it is
possible to restore any release.
If you want to create a new pulse sequence, simply remove the last letters
"pp" from the URL within your browser and add the name of the
new sequence. After pressing "Return" you get a new empty page and
using the "Edit" button you can add your sequence (or any other
information).
Add <pre> in front of your sequence and </pre> at the end, otherwise
you observe a strange formatting.
To set a link to your sequence, add [[name of sequence]] into the
table of contents.
If you feel, the system is useful or it's nonsense, feel free to use the
"Discussion"
part of the table of contents to add your opinion. The installion of a
specialized
server wold be the question of hours only, if the system is really helpful.
As usual, I apologize for my bad english.
Best regards
Rainer
