Wow, pretty molecules! :-)

I'm curious: who do you see as the users you're aiming for with Kalzium? It looks like it's acquiring features that would be useful to progressively more advanced students of chemistry - would you say this is true?

The ability to work with chemical equations would certainly have been useful to me back when I studied chemistry in school, but I understand in Kalzium that's now supported too :-)

Cool stuff! Had you considered providing any wikipedia integration, by the way? Obviously Kalzium can offer many things that wikipedia can't, but it'd maybe not be too hard to provide links or integrated views of wiki content for those who like to read more verbose descriptions of things, or research related information? Just an idea, anyhow.

I don't know about the current status but it is on the list of ideas for integration of KDE and Wikipedia:

As a teacher: Students (uni+school). But of course also just everybody who needs access to chemical information. All the new features are more for the professional, yes. But I try to keep the GUI simple, so that shouldn't be a problem.
