[Openchemistry-developers] Interested in OneMol: Google Docs & YouTube for Molecules

[Geoffrey Hutchison]

Dear Siddhant,

I think the specs are fairly clear:
http://wiki.openchemistry.org/GSoC_Ideas_2017#Project:_OneMol:_Google_Docs_.26_YouTube_for_Molecules

There needs to be:
* A web repository for uploading files (e.g., similar to http://wiki.openchemistry.org/GSoC_Ideas_2017#Project:_Computational_Chemistry_Web_Repository) including a REST API for upload and query.
* A web front-end to view files using 3DMol.js
* Some element of chat or collaboration thread for each file
* An API to synchronize viewer state (in 3DMol.js) between the clients

That would be the beginning. Think further about what it might mean to have a "Google Docs" for chemistry and take a look at some existing chemistry repositories:
* https://pqr.pitt.edu/
* https://openchemistry.kitware.com
* http://www.chemspider.com
* https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/2244
* http://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.2157.html?rid=fa75a88c-65f2-43be-9a72-95bff61933f0

Best regards,
-Geoff

My interest in this project is because I have earlier developed a web service called IAFC, which was an AI based corruption database, which won the Accenture Innovation Jockeys Competition. The service was based on a Node.js server and used MongoDB as a database. We used Machine Learning to analyze any query entered by the user and then populated the database and rendered searches from the same. So, I am well acquainted with Javascript frameworks, express server, RESTful, MongoDB and have some basic knowledge of front-end services/frameworks(HTML, CSS, Jquery, AngularJS). Also, the service was hosted on IBM Bluemix, so I have a good understanding of such web platforms(Others being - Azure, AWS). I am always excited about building web services that can impact people and be useful as well as easier to handle. Kindly, guide me through the project deliverables so that I can express my views and get to know what can be expected from me. Looking forward to your guidance,
