JMol
Cool images! Is there any way we can get Jmol working for this book? I'm not sure who to ask and I don't have the technical whatchamacallit. Ewen 17:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Ewen, I've considered it. There are a few issues. The main issue is that I believe it requires modifications to some permission stuff on the web server which may be beyond what anyone's allowed to do around here. Another problem is that the books are intended to be textbooks and while having interactive molecules would be fantastic, particularly for the stereochemistry stuff, there's no way to make them part of the printed text, so wherever they're used to demonstrate 3D, the text would need to be sufficiently complete with regular diagrams as well so that the JMol stuff could be excluded and it would be nice if they didn't crowd the page with the other diagrams.
 * What might be a workable solution is to set up separate pages which aren't part of the printed book, where users could go look at JMol examples. I'll talk to Whiteknight about it and see if it's feasible at all. -- Pete 18:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
