TODO for Kalzium KDE4 ===================== * When no atommodel is available (orbitswidget.cpp, elements higher than Rg) disable the whole widget * When no spectrum is available disable the whole widget * Making the table scalable. The basic code is already there and working. See - http://github.com/cryos/avogadro/blob/master/libavogadro/src/periodictableview.cpp - http://github.com/cryos/avogadro/blob/master/libavogadro/src/periodictableview.h That code needs to be finished (making it scalable) and then ported to Kalzium * 3D-code: Please read the TODO on the Avogadro side. All ideas and any progress is handled there: http://avogadro.sourceforge.net/wiki/To_Do * Multiplechoicetests with autogenerated questions: * "What element does the symbol Br represent?" * "What is the symbol for gold?" * "Which element (show two or more) has a greater mass?" These questions can be autogenerated because the answers are already in the database * Plotting + Add groups of elements, for example "Metals", 4th Period transitionmetals and so on. The user can easily select them and only plot the selected group + More than one group should be plottable at once. This would enable the user to compare two or more groups, eg. 4th with 5th group * Add more than only one mode to Kalzium, eg a mode with simplified user interface (less looks, easier menu structure, less information in the infodialog) and a full-mode where everything is enabled. * There should be more data about the elements, for example which chemistry-nobel-prize was won in that year (+/- 5 years or so) * Make use of hotnewstuff. In the detailinfodlg there should be a weblookup. If the user click on a button Konq will start with a page about the element. Of course, the user should be able to decide which page. For this we could create a simple editor and store it in xml. on edu.kde.org we would enable KHNS so that users can share their pages. Imaginge for example the different wikipedia-languages * Add the weblookup also in the glossary * Besides although for the "common user" is more easy to understand the information in "... years", it's more correct and flexible in scientific terms to use the scientific notation: ...x10e9 years. * Add lesson-mode? The idea is that a teacher could create xml-files which can somehow be used as lessons. Perhaps something like "find out how many element boild at 200 Degree Celsius and above. With that information: Why is it so?" * Add experiental mode: A teacher defines experiments (in xml) where fotos and texts are used to represent a experiment/task. Perhaps combined with openoffice-files (charts and so on). Like in CheExp. * Thinking on people with some disabilities, it would be great if they can select the elements on the grid by using cursor keys (or just tab key). * Create a generic slider class. This slider-widget will be able to hide or show elements based on a value. For example (like today) the SOM, but also the atomic weight, the density or the electron-affinity. This would help the user to get "a feeling" for the properties of the elements and would complement the gradient feature very well. * There's no view of the natural occurrence of the elements. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(standard) and see the notes about borders. * Printing: print properties selected by the user * Spectrum-Classes + Create an editor. The user enters some wavelength and Kalzium will create a graphic from that data. * Some websites with a lot of information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_chemistry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_chemical_element_discovery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize_in_chemistry http://chemipedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/Hauptseite http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/Handbook/periodictable.htm
