Answers
Has Kalzium a molecular calculator?
Yes, it has. Kalzium 3.5 has a mini-tool on its sidebar where you can
enter formulas (like C6H12O6) to calculate their weight.
Note that this mini-tool is not a real molecule calculator, so you can not use
it to calculate things like H + 2O
The Kalzium simple molecular calculator is not enough for me, is there anything more advanced?
Yes, there is an equation solver you can reach using the Tools menu (Tools -> Equation Solver). The solver is called EqChem, and you can find more information about it at its website: http://edu.kde.org/eqchem/.
What about the quiz? When will it be back?
I hope soon :-) But probably not inside Kalzium but inside a kdeedu application yet to be written. Any help is very welcome!
How can I help Kalzium?
There are a lot ways to help! We really need an updated documentation.
Beside that searching and reporting bugs (via bugs.kde.org) also helps us.
If you want to help coding a good start would be the
TODO-file.
You will find a lot points to start from.
How can make proposals for Kalzium features?
The best way is to file a wishlist on bugs.kde.org. This way we can't miss it. Other than that, feel free to write a mail to one of us or visit us in #kalzium or #kde-edu on irc.kde.org.
How can I say 'Thanks you' to the developers, donating money and so on?
One way would be to send Carsten one or more items from his Amazon-Wishlist. If you don't want to do this contact Carsten. Of course, the same applies to the other kde-edu developers.
