Hello,
Just to add my 2c.
As an end-user/python/php dev:
- removing obsolete/redundant code is always welcome
- introducing Boost is quite heavy dependency, so you'd have to
highlight the advantages to the community it will bring
- i think that object serialization (for OBMol as a starter) would be a
killer feature
- The project should be developed under openbabel's name, otherwise
people will be confused
- I don't mid having additional bindings, especially that I'm probably
only one to be using PHP bindings. I guess the question originated with
Boost, and moving towards Boost.python? I think that SWIG extensions are
desirable.
