Personally, I find it often difficult to assign life science related tools to specific categories. The boundaries between biology, chemistry, biochemistry, or physics in the life sciences have become fairly blury to me. My point was mainly to say that once a sci-visualisation category exists, users might expect to find tools like pymol, vmd, etc. in there as opposed to sci-chemistry or sci-biology. best, Markus - -- Markus Dittrich (markusle) Gentoo Linux Developer Scientific applications -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDipddxlRwCwb7k40RAhUrAJ4kAh9I/IEjfiHsOKCZ2kiiKDBM/gCeJGtB nV4IIJzvf5KplRk/A8qNhAw= =y/mj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-science@gentoo.org mailing list
