We like to get feedback on the software and these pages, both positive and negative, in order to make it better. The fastest way to get a response from the developers is usually to send a mail to the gmx-users mailing list since we all monitor those discussions. If you need to reach a specific developer you can find our adresses in the AUTHORS file in the distribution, or on our homepages.
