First I'd like to state that I'm mostly interested in crystallographic and plotting software. I've submitted some ebuilds to bugzilla, but as demands from work change quite frequently I don't know if I could guarantee reliable maintenance over larger periods of time. Then I'm still looking for a good eclass intro doc, that briefly explains which eclasses are there, what functions those provide and how one could use them (examples) to enhance ebuilds. > Q2) Please let me know if you are supporting or occasionally touching some > package under sci-* and, assuming we create more herds, which herd it > should belong to (just make it up as you see fit right now) and whether you > would be willing to add yourself to the alias of that herd or join some > subteam if we create one.

Some packages (shelx, platon, ortep3, maid, eden, cns, DrawXTL, Jana2000, sginfo, more to come) could be moved from sci-chemistry into a new sci-crystallography subfolder. I'd opt in to keep an eye on those (read: to do basic testing and help the maintainer with debugging). Proxy maintaining (or overlay indirection) might be OK with me, too. > Q3) Not relevant to this restructuring, but always usefull: if you know of > some package that you think should really go under sci-something, please > let us know! I'm still missing these: DrawXTL (Versions 4 and 5) V4 is the command line version, V5 features a GUI Jana2000 sginfo euhedral (I'm working on an ebuild for this) I submitted ebuilds for those to bugzilla (IDs: 77969, 80464, 116142) and would like to get feedback on those.
