[3dem] Heads-up: Reduced PDBe services between 24 December and 2 January

[Gerard DVD Kleywegt]

Hi all,

This is to inform PDB/EMDB depositors (note: at PDBe only) and users of PDBe 
services (http://pdbe.org/) that we will be operating with a reduced level of 
service in the holiday season:

- this week, we will do our best to process entries that are deposited before 
Friday, but cannot guarantee that we will succeed in all cases. The sooner you 
deposit, the more likely that we will be able to process your entry or entries 
by Friday.

- from 24 December to 2 January (inclusive), the EBI will be closed. You may 
still deposit structures and data into the PDB and EMDB with us, but there will 
be no annotation and processing taking place. We will monitor our web services 
in this period and will endeavour to fix any serious problems. Please note that 
e-mail sent to PDBe in this period is unlikely to receive a reply until the 
beginning of January.

- from 3-6 January, we will resume normal service and catch up with the 
annotation and e-mail backlogs.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

On behalf of all PDBe staff: best wishes for the coming holiday season and a 
well-structured 2012!

--Gerard
