PyMOLers,

After the tragic loss of Warren, his wife Beth has been working
nonstop to preserve PyMOL, his legacy.  Today, after nearly two months
of deliberation, she has sold PyMOL and its intellectual property to
Schrodinger (http://www.schrodinger.com/), a scientific software
company.  PyMOL has a new home!

Also, Schrodinger has just hired me to help drive PyMOL forward.  I
worked with Warren for about two years and was working very closely
with him up until his passing.  My goal is to see that PyMOL lives on,
continues to grow, and helps smart people do smart things.

How this affects us:
 * PyMOL will still be open-source, just like now
 * PyMOL will have professional support
 * PyMOL will have professional development
 * The mailing list and wiki will continue be the main sources of
communication and community-based support
 * Warren had ~20 different domain names -- all those will now point
to pymol.org.  If your favorite link is lost, please let me know ASAP,
but please give us some time to arrange this

I'm very excited for PyMOL and look forward to working with you all.

Regards,

-- Jason
