First I'd like to state that I'm mostly interested in crystallographic and |
| 11 |
plotting software. I've submitted some ebuilds to bugzilla, but as demands |
| 12 |
from work change quite frequently I don't know if I could guarantee reliable |
| 13 |
maintenance over larger periods of time. Then I'm still looking for a good |
| 14 |
eclass intro doc, that briefly explains which eclasses are there, what |
| 15 |
functions those provide and how one could use them (examples) to enhance |
| 16 |
ebuilds. |

Some packages (shelx, platon, ortep3, maid, eden, cns, DrawXTL, Jana2000, |
| 26 |
sginfo, more to come) could be moved from sci-chemistry into a new |
| 27 |
sci-crystallography subfolder. I'd opt in to keep an eye on those (read: to |
| 28 |
do basic testing and help the maintainer with debugging). Proxy maintaining |
| 29 |
(or overlay indirection) might be OK with me, too. |

I'm still missing these: |
| 35 |
DrawXTL (Versions 4 and 5) V4 is the command line version, V5 features a GUI |
| 36 |
Jana2000 |
| 37 |
sginfo |
| 38 |
euhedral (I'm working on an ebuild for this) |
| 39 |
I submitted ebuilds for those to bugzilla (IDs: 77969, 80464, 116142) and |
| 40 |
would like to get feedback on those. |

With regards, |
