[Joelib-devel] Teaching Wikipedia Chemistry - We need yout vote

[joerg.wegner <joe...@we...>]

Dear all virtual chemistry fans,

As you might know ... Wikipedia provides a lot of chemical information and
special projects like
Chemistry portal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Chemistry
Wikiproject Drugs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Drugs

Since we are as chemists used to work with molecules and to search for
substructure and similar molecules, some people would like to see SMILES
support and substructure search services in public databases for Wikipedia
articles.
As usual this caused some discussions and we realized that those approaches
must be tackled on a higher technical Mediawiki level.

If you would like to see substructure searches and proper SMILES in
Wikipedia it would push the priority, if you 'Vote for this bug' (actually
feature request) at
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7514
Unfortunately you have to create an account, so it's up to you if you really
want to do that.
