Regarding the Molecular Foundry Photonics Toolkit, here are some 
links to Meep resources:

Meep homepage, with downloads, tutorial and documentation:

* ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Meep

Mailing list:

* ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meep-discuss

which is archived at:

* http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.science.electromagnetism.meep.general

I suggest using the "using frames and threads" format, which is the 
top link on the above page.

A highly informative paper on Meep’s internal operations and design 
choices:
