Hello, Guten Abend, and Bienvenue to the new Thom Group Wiki. (Apparently evenings are good times to read the Wiki.)

In this Wiki you can find various pieces of useful information, such as when group meetings are, who is going to bring cake, how to run a particular calculation or perform a certain computer trick, who's using which computer in the group, and so on. You can also see how fun we are as a group by looking at our various photos.
