Jmol developers: At the Blue Obelisk meeting in Chicago, we had quite a lively discussion relating to business plans. Of course, my answer to the question, "What is the Jmol business plan?" I answered: "None -- this is totally not a business."
But upon refection, I was wondering if there should be a sort of "business plan" for Jmol. Here is what I am thinking: I'm a professor; my currency is publications. Say someone comes to me and asks me if Jmol could be improved in some way in order to make some sort of research possible. So I spend some significant amount of time doing that. Would it be reasonable to ask to be a coauthor on the first publication that stems from this added capability? My reasoning is that you would certainly put a graduate student or post-doc's name on a paper if they contributed by writing code that made some aspect of that work possible. What do you think? At what point does such activity merit an acknowledgment? coauthor? Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
