We would like to automate as much as possible the processes in UsefulChem. One of our grad students, Dave Strumfels, has done a lot using VBA in Excel to process the molecules blog. [|See here for the most recent update]. Downloads are available from [|here]. These are some of the processes that we would like to automate:
 * 1) Conversion of chemical information formats. Provide scripts that will at least assist people processing the molecule blog. For example see [|Ruslan's contribution].
 * 2) Synthesis design: it would be useful to have Computer Assisted Organic Synthesis programs suggest syntheses of the compounds without a commercial source that are added to the molecule blog.
 * 3) [|Web Services (e.g. Rajarshi Guha's examples)] (SMILES -> molecular weight, molecular formula, jpeg)
