+The DIALS toolkit is designed to allow extension and reuse. DIALS
+software is being used in contexts beyond its original focus on
+synchrotron X-ray macromolecular crystallography. Here we list some
+examples of projects underway that are using DIALS in various ways.
+
+DIALS for neutron diffraction
+=============================
+
+The Ada Lovelace Centre is currently funding developments at the
+Scientific Computing Department of STFC and at the ISIS Neutron and Muon
+Source to adapt DIALS for the time-of-flight (ToF) Laue instrument SXD.
+
+This will enable DIALS to generate scaled intensities from ToF Laue
+neutron diffraction data, adding new functionality to work with white
+beams, asymmetric, diffuse peak profiles from spallation sources, and
+additional algorithms for integration. A work in progress fork is
+available `here <https://github.com/toastisme/dials>`_, with plans to
+extend this work to monochromatic and quasi-Laue neutron sources in
+the future.
