Jmol was originally developed by Dan Gezelter, Notre Dame, South Bend as a 
MacOS version of XMol... Later Bradley took over as project leader, and 1.5 
years ago I became leader... but since then Miguel has done so much, that 
practically he is leading the v10 branch, while I leaded the v6 branch... 
which ended in release v9...

Indeed. We need help in, at least, these areas:

- - crystallography (space group symmetry implementation)
- - animation (interpolation and property (e.g. energy) vs. frame plots)
- - internationalisation (some Jmol parts are yet untranslatable...)
- - interoperability with QM programs
- - analysis plugins (tools that extend the Jmol viewer with tools used
   in specific research fields, e.g. a plugin interfacing with Platon to do
   report certain analyses)
- - documentation!
