Hi all,
it might be interesting for some of us, and interesting to distribute for
others:
I have only glanced at this - looks a great idea.
AFAICS your require to team up with a mentoring organisation - one on the
list. If so we have a contact in Google whom we could approach. We have
already been talking about InChI, but this would be a messy project, given
the C code and the license. Could there be mileage in either a graphical
editor or display for Google? I cannot promise we can get her involved in
the short timescale but it's useful to us to keep things moving. I am not
immediately sure what would be the precise deliverable.
P.
AFAICS we don't need permission from the academic institution - probably
just a statement at the appropriate time.
"This summer, don't let your programming skills lie fallow. Use them for the
greater good of open source software and computer science. Google will
provide a $4500 award to each student who successfully completes a project by
the end of the summer." [1]
And I know one idea that might very well lead to an award. I don't know the
details, but the KDE project participates [2], and has this idea up on the
web "Writing a KDE application not in C(++)":
"Description: The KDE/Qt framework is famous for providing a low-entry
barrier
for people to get in touch with OO and GUI programming. The goal of this
bounty is to show that this doesn't have to be done in C++. There are
language bindings for many scripting and other rapid-prototyping-compatible
languages, like Ruby, Python or Java. Your mission is to prove that they're
generally useful by writing a new KDE application or rewriting an existing
one using these languages."
Thus say a KDE version of Jmol and JChemPaint seems a *very* option!
I don't seem to qualify... I *am* getting old :(
But I think many of us have students around whom we might get interested in
this.
One catch! The deadline is on the 14th! We'll have to move fast!
Egon
