The now defunct ''World Index of BioMolecular Visualization Resources'' (molvisindex.org, now defunct) was a web project designed by [[User:Eric Martz|Eric Martz]] that was operational from 2000 to 2012. Users contributed most of the content and photographs, with links to their own websites containing molecular visualization resources. The concept was similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki#History today's wikis], but the project became operational before wikis were widely available. | The now defunct ''World Index of BioMolecular Visualization Resources'' (molvisindex.org, now defunct) was a web project designed by [[User:Eric Martz|Eric Martz]] that was operational from 2000 to 2012.

The project, dubbed ''Visitor-Maintained Indices'', was implemented in Java Server Pages by Trevor D. Kramer. The server was kindly provided by Philip Bourne (then a senior staff member of the [[Protein Data Bank]]) at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. In January, 2012, a technician unwittingly destroyed the project by moving it to a server not configured to support Java Server Pages. Fortunately, an [http://web.archive.org/web/20120106113602/http://molvis.sdsc.edu:80/visres/index.html archival snapshot of the project and its content as of January, 2012] can still be viewed, thanks to the [https://archive.org/ Internet Archive] "Wayback Machine". More of the content seems to be accessible in the [http://web.archive.org/web/20100110135419/http://molvis.sdsc.edu:80/visres/index.html June, 2010 archive]. | The project, dubbed ''Visitor-Maintained Indices'', was implemented in Java Server Pages by Trevor D.

The ''Index'' was organized into 14 categories. The most populated category was ''Biochemical Structure Tutorials with Rotating/Interactive Molecular Displays'', which had 160 entries submitted by 83 visitors (authors) in January 2010. The second most-populated category was ''Free Software for Molecular Visualization and Modeling'' which had 102 entries submitted by 82 authors. | The ''Index'' was organized into 14 categories.
