Proteopedia.Org Seeks Help
Submitted by Eric Martz; posted on Wednesday, April 3, 2024

https://Proteopedia.Org needs a major upgrade. Proteopedia.org (free, open source) was created in 2007 as a wiki encyclopedia of protein molecular structure incorporating JSmol (http://Jmol.Org). It is by far the easiest place to create customized interactive molecular scenes, which are then immediately online for anyone to see. "Green links" illustrate statements in text with interactive molecular scenes in JSmol. Proteopedia's pages have been visited >230 million times. Users have authored thousands of articles, >100 of which have been visited >50,000 times each. Professors and students are major users, as well as researchers. Over 5,000 people have set up free accounts. A brief introductory overview of Proteopedia is here:
https://proteopedia.org/w/Proteopedia:Overview
Rejuvenation will involve upgrading the obsolete versions of linux, MySQL, and Wikimedia that it now runs with on Amazon Web Services, and making all its customized features work with the new infrastructure. Those features include support to run JSmol within Wikimedia, the Scene Authoring Tools (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90jonYOzzCY), green links, etc. Then the content in the present implementation could be imported into the new system using an automated script that would also need to be developed. Jaime Prilusky, who created most of the present system and has maintained it until now, would very much like help from someone familiar with the components of the infrastructure, especially current MySQL. Limited funding may be available.
Thanks from the Proteopedia Team, https://proteopedia.org/w/Proteopedia:Team
