Dear Jmol team:
This letter is to notify you that I will not be able to continue
participating in Jmol development. I hope this situation will only
be temporary. However, my rejoining the project depends on my
institution being convinced to give me some kind of credit for these
activities. Since my contributions to the Jmol project were not
deemed a "form of off-campus, peer reviewed scholarly or artistic
product", I cannot afford to put any more time into the project. As
it stands, I have been told that my scholarly activity level has not
been adequate recently. To help me increase my scholarly output, I
will have to teach 3-6 hours more of classes each week, and will be
responsible for grading additional work from 20-60 more students.
Somehow that is supposed to increase my scholarly activity:) Put
simply, this means I will not have time to devote to Jmol or most of
my other scholarly activities. Since Jmol is the scholarly activity
that doesn't presently count, I need to drop that and use any time I
can eke out for scholarship of other kinds. If I can convince my
department to include contributions to projects like Jmol on a list
of creditable activity, I will be able to rejoin the project. This
is likely to take a semester. Thus I hope to be able to rejoin the
project next spring, about May.
I will stay on the lists and try to stay up-to-date. I also plan to
spend some of the holiday break bringing the Wiki up-to-date on the
export to web function. I think it will help my case if export to
web is better documented and thus gets used more.
I have found my involvement in the project intellectually
stimulating and am sorry that my situation requires that I halt my
participation.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
