Shravan is working with Richard Spinney at Ohio State. They asked me last fall about jcamp support. Someone asks about jcamp about once a quarter. > The reason I ask is that Robert Lancashire already > has a Java applet that is pretty advanced as a JCAMP > reader, and he is developing it in conjunction with > Jmol. I am not familiar with Robert Lancashire's work. You folks are aware that I have limited knowledge of what goes on on the chemistry world. I believe that there was some limited discussion on jmol-users before Richard/Shravan began their work. > It seems to me a bit odd to have a spectral section of Jmol > itself and a lot better just to have two independent applets > that can talk to each other. You are exactly work. Shravan is working on a completely independent applet that would send script commands to Jmol. > This is (potentially) a major addition to Jmol that is (in my opinion) > possibly off-topic of molecular visualization. Related - for sure - but > not necessarily something we would want integrated into it. For that reason it is not integrated into Jmol. It is supposed to use the same interface that would be available to other applets. With that said, I don't have any problems with it being part of the Jmol project, as long as it is a separate entity. As I said, a significant number of people have asked about it ... and Chime had some support for jcamp data ... so I assume that it is important functionality. > Can we talk about this before going too far with it? Shravan needs to let us know his status. I would also like to understand Robert Lancashire's works and status. >>- some of the files contain a copyright notice in them. If we want to >> include them in Jmol, I thought they should have the usual copyright >> notice, i.e. GNU LPGL. What do we do ? I have not looked at the files. If there are copyrights that are not open source then I am quite concerned. My understanding with Shravan and Richard was that the work would be completely open source. I also understand that they began with an applet that they got from Henry Rzepa. But, to date I have not looked at the code. I did set Shravan up with a project with the Jmol repository so that he could have a place to check-in. >>- I would like to do some cleaning in the source files (applying coding >> conventions, removing the 100+ warnings that Eclipse shows about them, >> ...). Is it ok ? Is someone currently working on them ? Nico, I think that you should wait until we get some feedback from Shravan.
