GROMACS supportTo facilitate the communication between users and developers of GROMACS we have created a forum and two mailing lists that you can subscribe to. Before seeking support for an issue to do with using GROMACS it is recommend that you first:
Do not email a developer or list/forum subscriber personally unless your question pertains directly to their published work. GROMACS forumGROMACS forum has 2 categories: - GROMACS user forum discussion point for installation and usage of GROMACS software. For questions related to development please use the gmx-developers mailing list . An account is required to post a new topic or to answer to a current topic. To create a account go to the here and use sign up bottom. - GROMACS announcements. Everybody can see, only staff can post. When posting to the forum, it is important to remember that those on the emailing list are just fellow users of the software. They are not paid to answer your question. With that in mind, some things that will assist in improving the chance that you get some helpful response to your problem are:
A very good article for anyone who may be asking or answering questions on an emailing lists to read is How To Ask Questions The Smart Way, but do not pester Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen (the authors of that page) with questions about GROMACS or anything else. A recently published article has also appeared on this topic, with particular focus on getting help on scientific forums.
Mailing ListsThe two mailing lists (see the menu items on the left) have slightly different purposes, and you might not be interested in subscribing to all of them:
If you don't like to have your mailbox flooded with messages you can choose a digest alternative and only get one larger mail per day. Please don't include the entire digest if you reply. UnsubscribeDo not post unsubscribe requests to the mailing list. Instead, use this web interface. Choose the list from which you wish to be removed, then follow the instructions. Can't Post?The mailing list software checks your return address and only accepts postings from subscribed members. For this to work, it is important that you subscribe with your mail address exactly as it appears in the headers of the mails you send, otherwise your posts will be rejected! (E.g. joe@chem.uni.edu is different from joe@uni.edu; and joe.doe@gmail.com is different from joedoe@gmail.com.). If you don't, you will get a message about only subscribed members being allowed. |
