[Kalzium] Request for considering my application to participate in Google Summer of Code with 3D Molecular Editor as the Project

[Benoît Jacob]

Hi,

Thanks for applying!

For your information, with you, there are three applicants for the 3D 
Molecular editor SoC project.

If you want to familiarize yourself with what's going on, I suggest that you 
checkout the avogadro project and subscribe to the list 
avogadro-devel at lists.sourceforge.net. You can also chat with us on #avogadro 
on Freenode.

Avogadro is where all the effort is currently going. It provides a library, 
libavogadro, to which we're aiming to port Kalzium. Most of the code from 
Kalzium's current 3D viewer is getting moved to libavogadro and to avogadro 
plugins.

Cheers,
Benoit
