Dear Paul and other Jmolers,
Yes, I would be delighted to provide the software, and any other guidance,
for setting up your own Molecular Playground. A description of the project and
basic installation guidelines can be found at <http://molecularplayground.org>.
My goal is to have the software downloadable from that site in the future, but
for the moment, you can request it directly from me. The programmer for the
project has moved on (now developing iOS software for Apple), but is still
wrapping up the final touches remotely (and alas, slowly). In the mean time,
although I am pursuing funding sources to add new features, the software is
stable and running well at 8 (so far!) installations.
Full integration into Jmol could be interesting and if anyone wants to take
that on, I'm happy to help (I don't program, myself, at least at this level).
My goal is to take the project fully into the open source domain.
Installation (Mac only, sorry) is trivial. MPControlHub is the setup
interface and launches the other components. I'll soon work on some
documentation for that, but the program is pretty intuitive and simple. Our
final goal is to have content hosted on a server here at UMass, transferring
the configuration of individual installations to a simple WEB interface. At the
moment, the files I'll send you contain a collection of content that you can
turn on and off from within the MPControlHub application. Adding your own Jmol
molecules and scripts, simply requires editing a couple of configuration
(text) files, and should be trivial for most on this list.
And I would love to have an even wider variety of content available to
Playgrounds. If anyone plays with the setup and new content, I'd love it if you
would share that content with us.
Sorry for the delay in my response,
Craig Martin
