Just a note: as I briefly mentioned at Sanibel, I hope developers will
think about merging divergent code streams for things like umbrella
sampling and steered molecular dynamics.
I wrote the original umbrella code, which was a real kludge, but did
allow one to re-use the NMR restraint stuff. But I think that what
Volodymyr has done is more general and powerful, and doesn't have
problems like the ones listed above. So, my proposal is to see if we
can use his code as a base for most or all of this sort of thing.
There may be some good reasons *not* to do this, so people should feel
free to express their ideas. But I'd like to avoid duplication of user
interfaces to the greatest extent we can.
