Re: Debian Edu: new scientific package

Although completely different, GAMGI is inspired
in programs as InsightII and Cerius2:
http://www.accelrys.com/insight/
http://www.accelrys.com/cerius2/
which I used extensively during my PhD. The company
developing this software is for scientific atomistic
modelling software what M$ is for general desktop software.
InsightII and Cerius are both: 1) applications to build, view and analyse
atomic structures and also 2) a platform to launch a wide range of standalone
applications covering many atomistic modelling topics, such as
Ab-initio calculations and Molecular Dynamics simulations,
Lattice Dynamics, applications to calculate electronic properties
in solids, Monte Carlo techniques etc...
At least at this stage I am only interested in the first part:
I don't think it is a good ideia to integrate this kind of
graphic interface with external standalone programs. <rant>They do
it because it helps to obfuscate their stuff and get more money
from researchers worldwide</rant>.

I didn't know that, I will try to find who shall I contact.
Thanks for your answer,
