Thanks for introducing yourself Patrick, I am looking forward to
seeing what we can get done over the summer. A lot of the Avogadro
development still happens on the Avogadro list/Discourse, I think most
of us are monitoring this list as well as the mailing list - Discourse
is much newer, but has some great features.
