canSAS Working Groups

Welcome to the canSAS Working Groups wiki.

This site is to allow the members of the various canSAS Working Groups to share and record information about their group's progress.

The report from the canSAS-V workshop (PDF available here) describes the terms of reference for the working groups. A summary and links to the wiki pages are below.

The intention is that this be a group that meets by tele- or video-conference two to four times a year to discuss cross-facility issues and to develop co-operation.

IGOR Pro Developers

A number of SAS software packages are developed using IGOR Pro and this group is intended to agree common coding standards to make sharing of code easier and reduce the problems of having multiple packages, with potentially similar functions, loaded simultaneously into IGOR.
