I think the time has come for a native client-side Javascript molecular
viewer. [I wrote JUMBO-JS for CML about 10 years ago but the
browser technology was so mutable and fickle that it was doomed to perish].
I was very encouraged last week by a presentation from Graham Klyne (Oxford)
who has created a JS tool Shuffl to create a client-side hypercard-like
system for viewing data. Shuffl is/was funded by JISC. It convinced me that
Javascript was sufficiently robust to revisit.

I felt that Shuffl is crying out for a molecular viewer and that it should
not be too dificult to create at least a basic 2D one. I've copied Graham as
he will be coming to visit us on Friday.
