I have been talking with the Computational Crystallography group in
Cambridge/LMB who develop ligand dictionaries for protein crystallography
and are building their system with Open software (and Open data from
Crystallography Open Database).

I have suggested that there are Open tools that they may not yet have
discovered. They have needs for (at least):
 * 2-D chemical editor and display
 * 3-D editor
 * atom typing
 * computational chemistry (e.g. DFT)
 * chemical database software

They have filled some of this themselves, and use RDKIT, but would benefit
from other components. I pointed them at JChempaint - which has matured a
lot since I last used it. I have also suggested NWChem.

I am not up-to-date with all the Open software. Do we have a list of tools
in this area? If not, perhaps people can respond to the list? It would be a
useful update.
