This is definitely a good idea for the package chemical-structures. This
one is most mature, I do not think that it can be improved by its author
directly: there are already more than 500 molecules in the data, which
are likely to be the most commonly needed molecule by everybody. The
only enhancement would be to allow people who use this program to upload
well described new molecules. Another enhancement would be to define an
extention to MIME-types to deal with files describing molecules.

What are the procedures to upload new packages in those repositories?
(by the way, I suppose that "DebiChem SVN" and "Debian Science
repository" are distinct repositories, aren't they ?)

Best regards,			Georges.
