14 A new website for physics online community A pilot project launched in April A pilot project launched in April It provides a forum for published and pre-published materials, daily news coverage, information about the conferences and seminars. It provides a forum for published and pre-published materials, daily news coverage, information about the conferences and seminars. It is the first online community in physics where researchers may discuss the problems in Russian. We plan to add the English version at a later stage.
