Wikipedia talk:Using Jmol to display molecular models

message: You should contact people from the Blue Obelisk Movement. Possible extensions and possibilities of the actual ideas would be:
* using JChemPaint which uses the CDK to edit structures and visualize them in 2D.
* storing structures and meta data in Chemical Markup Language, e.g. boilding points, etc.
* Categorizing every data would allow some fancy mining ideas.

message: I am trying to initiate discussion on settings we should use for 3D images on the Structure Working group talk page.  Could this group suggest what should be used?  We should make sure things harmonise well with what we are doing with other 3D image formats.  I know very little about this, can you guys advise?  Thanks, Walkerma 16:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Settings for Jmol images on Wikipedia 

message: While it is a long time since this project was last mentioned, it has not been forgotten. The problem has been that the Jmol extensions for MediaWike are not thought to be sufficiently secure for the Wikipedia Technical folk. The author of the Jmol extension for MediaWiki has been too busy, and, like me, too ignorant of the security issues, to fix this. However, I am now reasonably confident that it will be fixed before too long. Other issues are:-
===Media for Jmol data===
The extension has several ways of having the data ready for Jmol as detailed here:-
#Data being an uploaded file like image files.
#Data being a standard wiki page or sub-page.
#Data being inline in the page calling Jmol.
#Data being a URL of a file on another server.
I do not see the WP techs supporting 4. It seems to me that we should be using (1) and getting the system to treat data files just like images. The extension also supports showing the Jmol image in a pop-up window. I strongly support this for WP as downloading the applet can be slow and we do not want people to download it not knowing they do so when they just click on a link. --Bduke (talk) 06:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Media for Jmol data

message: I particularly want to get Jmol working on Wikiversity as it is widely used in educational materials on computational chemistry including some we are planing to put on to Wikiversity. The appropriate format for the Jmol data here is I think the uploaded file. This points to a later development of uploading data file to Commons. --Bduke (talk) 06:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the status of enabiling Jmol in Wikipedia?  A suggestion  has been made here to include Jmol protein structures in Gene Wiki pages.  If additional lobbying support for bringing Jmol to Wikipedia would help, perhaps the WP:MCB project could provide some.  Cheers.  Boghog (talk) 09:02, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
