[Wien] An interesting article on DFT: Understanding density functional theory (DFT) and completing it in practice

Be very careful with this article.  The method it presents purports to
give a correct set of DFT results - both total energy and band gap -
  with a prescription for constructing a finite-sized basis set. The
explicit contradiction with the concept of the complete basis set limit
should be cause for skepticism at the least.
   peace, Sam
