Proposal for New Project: unimol_tools

[emotionor]

A Vote for New Project: unimol_tools

Proposal

We propose to separate the unimol_tools package from the current Uni-Mol repository and establish it as an independent project under the DeepModeling organization.

Motivation for Separation:

• Functional Independence:

  unimol_tools includes utility functions and tools that are not tightly coupled with the core Uni-Mol framework and can be reused in other contexts.

• Maintainability:

  Maintaining unimol_tools separately will allow for more focused development, streamlined issue tracking, and better modular design.

• Dependency Management:

  Separate versioning and dependency handling will provide greater flexibility for Uni-Mol and downstream projects that rely on unimol_tools.

• Community Growth:

  Hosting unimol_tools as an independent repository may attract new contributors and users who are specifically interested in molecular tools and utilities.

Transition Plan:

• Create a new repository: deepmodeling/unimol_tools
• Migrate the existing code along with its complete Git history
• Set up CI/CD pipelines for testing and packaging
• Update documentation and dependency references
• Ensure alignment with DeepModeling governance policies and maintain close collaboration with the Uni-Mol core development team

Deadline

The vote will be open for at least 6 days unless there is an objection.
