Q: Can we delete the crystal tag?

There are currently 10 questions tagged crystal, which are all also tagged crystalline-structure. In that case it does not make any sense to me to keep the former at all (not even as a synonym). Secondly I would like to suggest to rename crystalline-structure to crystal structure. A simple googl...

@Martin is kicking some serious butt around Chem:SE. Great work man.

@LordStryker Thanks. I am currently in a good position to do things like that. I also know that this won't last. Well, I'll just enjoy as long as it does :D

@Martin are you still here?

@GM I am here sometimes/ often/ always... but where I am now, late it is. Sleep I must get. Anyways, I saw your comment on chemfig and about the avogadro plugin. I am very much amazed! If you need a tester, let me know. I think I can install avogadro - never used it before (I prefer molden and/or chemcraft and sometimes even gOpenMol - very old...)

LordStryker

@Martin Link to chemfig->avagadro comment?

@Martin and DOUBLE-FIST BUMP for Chemcraft!

(I got the devs to build in QChem support a few years back) :P

@Martin chemfig has a good documentation you can scroll down until you see what you are interested in copy the example and edit it according to your needs. Recently I'm trying to create an Avogadro plugin to export directly from 3d structure 2d chemfig structures using python terminal but I've just begin to explore the functions I don't know if it is feasible... — G M 1 hour ago

@LordStryker It makes nice pictures... but it runs kinda slow via wine in *nix and natively... well the version is a bit behind I think (havn't checked recently) ... but it has awesome features!

LordStryker

@Martin I've had issues running it in Wine. I run Win7 on a side-laptop for all my Chemcraft needs. The developer is really awesome too. He is open to good suggestions.

Martin

@LordStryker HARK! I run xubu inside 7 for my computational needs, but I hate transferring data between OSes... sometimes they are just meant to get lost on the way...

anyways, it's 1:30 now and I want to accomplish some research tomorrow... cul8r

@Martin Peace out brother. <o

@Martin Avogadro has the problem that it is not so stable as other software, in the future there will be Avogadro2 but for the moment it has very few functions… @LordStryker for the best pictures look try to use qutemol.sourceforge.net/ Avogadro + Qutemol gives excellent results!

LordStryker

@GM I've been really impressed with Avagadro -> POVRay (minus the whole 'doesn't render hydrogen bonds' failure)

Q: What is needed for this site to get out of beta?

The title pretty much sums it up. Do we have to score an "Excellent" in every aspect listed on the Area 51 page over a certain period of time or what are the requirements for getting out of beta status?
