      "content_html": "<p>An open source project is as good as its community. <a href=\"http://www.jmol.org/\">Jmol</a> has a brilliant community, but <a href=\"http://cdk.sf.net/\">CDK</a> is not doing\nbad either, in general at least; some CDK projects could use some more user feedback, such as <a href=\"http://www.cdk-taverna.net/\">CDK-Taverna</a>\n(site down at the time of writing, but see the <a href=\"http://cdktaverna.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/cdk-taverna-version-050-release/\">blog</a>).</p>\n\n<p>There are actually quite a few things going on within the CDK Community. There are a few active or less active projects:</p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>CDK Library <em>(The main and most well-known component))</em></li>\n  <li>CDK-Taverna <em>(just mentioned)</em></li>\n  <li><a href=\"http://cdknews.org/\">CDK News</a> <em>(Not active enough, please contribute!)</em></li>\n  <li><a href=\"http://cheminfo.informatics.indiana.edu/~rguha/code/java/nightly/\">CDK Nightly</a> <em>(Rajarshi’s nightly build and check service, for trunk/ and <a href=\"http://cheminfo.informatics.indiana.edu/~rguha/code/java/nightly-1.0.x/\">cdk1.0.x/</a>)</em></li>\n  <li>JChemPaint <em>(For which a <a href=\"http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/search?q=jchempaint\">new version is being developed</a>.)</em></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>(Even withing the CDK Library, several threads are ongoing, but I will report on that at some later stage).</p>\n\n<p>A full <a href=\"http://cdk.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cdk/\">list of projects is found in SVN</a>. A recent new project is <em>CDK Policy</em>,\nwhich will attempt to formalize code development such that the library becomes better maintainable. One of the first things\nthe draft does, is formalize roles withing the community.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"cdk-members-and-cdk-developers\">CDK Members and CDK Developers</h2>\n<p>Basically, anyone with write access to <a href=\"http://cdk.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cdk/\">CDK’s SVN</a> may call himself <em>CDK Developer</em>\n(<a href=\"http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=20024\">57 in total</a>). So, what if you contributed patches? Then you may\ncall yourself <em>CDK Member</em> (well, as suggested in the draft policy), like anyone else who is subscribed to the <em>cdk-devel</em>\nmailing list.</p>\n\n<p>This is an important fact. Anyone can subscribe to the list, and directly becomes active CDK Member; He/she gets a voice. The\npolicy proposes that difference between member and developer to be in the fact that the policy has been accepted by the person.\nTherefore, according to the draft policy, <em>anyone</em> who <strong>accepts</strong> the policy gets SVN write access, making the CDK not just\nOpen Source, but an Open Community too. The policy then organizes the maintainability of the software development.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"cdk-users\">CDK Users</h2>\n<p>A CDK User is basically anyone who uses any of the CDK products, but in particular those subscribed to the cdk-user mailing list.</p>\n\n<p>A limited overview of developers, members and users can be found on <a href=\"http://cdk.sourceforge.net/maps/people/\">this Google map</a>:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"/assets/images/cdkMap.png\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n\n<p>Just email me (or cdk-user) your latitude/longtitude to have yourself or your research group (URL) linked on this map as user\nor developer.</p>",
