- Intuitive interface designed to be useful to whole community
- Fast and efficient embracing the latest technologies
- Extensible, making extensive use of a plugin architecture

The code in this repository is a rewrite of Avogadro with source code split across a libraries repository and an application repository. The new code architecture provides a high-performance rendering engine, modern code development, and significantly improved speed and stability.
Avogadro 2 is being developed as part of the Open Chemistry project by an open community, and was started at Kitware as an open source community project. The Avogadro 1.x series currently has more features, and can be found here. We will be porting more features to the Avogadro 2 code base, and making regular releases to get feedback from the community.
We are actively working to finish Avogadro 2.0.
Our project uses the standard GitHub pull request process for code review and integration. PThe GitHub issue tracker can be used to report bugs, make feature suggestions, etc.
