= Potential Packages =


 * Asana Math font
 * AmberTools - A set of tools for Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement (AMBER). Dominik Mierzejewski is working on the package, contact him if you are interested or want to help.
 * LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator
 * MGLTools - Includes AutoDockTools (docking of molecules), Python Molecular Viewer and Vision (python visual programming). Packaged for debian : http://mgltools.scripps.edu/News/mgltools-available-for-debian
 * Nanodesigner - Example design 1 The Nanodesigner project is an attempt to create a software platform for research on nanometer sized objects. By objects is meant everything that consists of atoms: molecular motors, biomolecules, a crystal slab
 * Ideas of packages for bioinformatics base on bio-linux.
 * VV - Fast and simple image viewer, designed for visualization of spatio-temporal images: 2D, 2D+t, 3D and 3D+t (or 4D) - There are already binary rpms available
 * GAP - Computer algebra system - JasonTibbitts has a working and up-to-date GAP package, but it needs significant cleanup before it has a chance of passing review.
 * RasTop - Molecular Visualization Software
 * ITK - Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit - software system to support the Visible Human Project - Under review InsightToolkit
 * XPP - A tool for solving differential equations - Jason Tibbitts has a working package, but the program has such a poor interface that it may not be worth adding to the distro
 * Neuron - A simulator of neurons and networks, useful for computational biology. Packages are available upstream; shouldn't be terribly hard to package properly but requires a truly ancient user interface toolkit.
 * SAGE Mathematica-like open source mathematics software (SAGE packaging discussion)
 * Scilab GUI based numerical analysis system (details on current status)
