TODO for Kalzium 1.5 =================== Bugs ---- * Miscellaneous bugs: + Make use of the biological symbol. ---- CN: I lost the "translation" though, will have to look after it. CN: I have deactivated the drawingconde + correct mass-rounding presumably, the arg()-funktion now rounds wrong ----- ================================================================ Future versions * Export to html and csv comes into my mind. Pretty easy I guess. Something like that was in Kalzium of KDE 3.1 I think. But my implementation sucked so much I removed it. * Add KHotNewStuff support (xml) so that a user can define which dates are displayed in the timeline (see SOM) * Log-scale of the gradient * 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 chemitry-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 the 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. * Add two comboboxes to the infodialog: That way the user can search for an element by name and number. 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). * Perhaps there must be a KComboBox in the toolbar where you can select the different views of the PTE. * 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. * 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 Properties listed on my periodic table: Page 1: - electronconfig [DONE] - Atomic radius (covalent, ionic, vdw [Semi-DONE] - reduction potential - EN [DONE, there are more values, other scales] - abundance [Semi-Done] - biological symbol [DONE] - IUPAC-Name [DONE] - number [DONE] - oxidation-numer(s) [DONE, need to be checked] - orbitals [DONE] Page 2: - number of natural isotopes - massenzahlen (# of neutrons) of the most important isotopes - natural abundance of the isotopes - first IE [DONE] - density [DONE] - SP and BP [DONE] - Infos about the most important isotope [DONE but needs to be improved]
