I'm rather busy because it is Christmas eve. Just some quick remarks:
1. I'm _extremely_ excited that you're so enthusiastic about Jmol
and Sage. I hope you'll consider coming
to one of the Sage workshops soon. The next will be at IPAM (at
UCLA) in February (5-9), 2008.
2. We (mainly Robert Bradshaw!) have actually already done quite a
lot with jmol and Sage already,
involving graphing functions, drawing primitives, etc. -- it
definitely works well, but could with your
help be made to work much better. When I have time I'll
explain how to try it out.
