As many of you may know, Open Babel is participating in Google Summer of Code 2020. The last two years, we've been lucky to have Naruki working on the fragment-based builder in 3.0 as well as improvements in the not-quite-finished distance geometry builder.
If you know of students who might be interested in participating in GSoC 2020, it's not too late to apply. The deadline is March 31st and more details are here: https://wiki.openchemistry.org/Applying_to_GSoC https://wiki.openchemistry.org/GSoC_Ideas_2020 Beyond that, it's probably a good time to ask for ideas, suggestions, pain points, etc. Let's say there are developers with time on their hands during this global pause.. What would you like to see added or changed with Open Babel? I'd like to open the discussion, but also point people to the issue tracker on GitHub; https://github.com/openbabel/openbabel/issues I have a few ideas: - Improved bond order perception - we're finishing up something for this in my group - A bullet-proof 3D coordinate generator - Improved 2D depiction using the CoordGen library contributed to RDKit last year by Schrodinger Thanks, -Geoff _______________________________________________ OpenBabel-discuss mailing list OpenBabel-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openbabel-discuss
