Re: [gmx-users] GROMACS mailing-list will move to a forum

2020-05-07 Thread Paul bauer

Hello gmx users!

As announced in my previous message at the beginning of the week, we 
will be activating the new discussion forum today.


At the same time, the mailing list will move to read-only mode, so 
please don't be surprised when it is no longer possible to submit new 
messages to it. :)


As a reminder, you can sign up to the forum here: 
https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/


Again, we are looking forward to interact with the community in this new 
way, and hope it will make it easier for you to solve issues that you 
have while using GROMACS.


Cheers

Paul

Hello again @ all gmx-users!

A month has passed and we have moved forward with our work to move the 
user mailing list to the [discussion forum] 
https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/. The discussion forum will open Friday, 8 
May 2020.


We are now ready to accept people signing up to the forum at 
https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/. We will start allowing new posts 
starting from Friday to give people some time to get used to the forum 
settings. At the same time (Friday), the gmx-users mailinglist will be 
set in read-only mode.


We are looking forward to engaging with you in this new format and 
hope it will help the community to solve user issues with GROMACS.


Cheers

Paul

Hello gmx-users!

We have been working behind the scenes the last few months on some 
changes to the organization of the GROMACS project, one of them is 
switching our gmx-users mailing list to a forum


We are continuously re-thinking about how we can best engage with you 
and how people can get the best help when it comes to questions about 
using GROMACS for different scientific problems. While the user list 
has worked well for this in the past, it has also shown some 
deficiencies, mostly in finding already existing questions and the 
correct answers for them. To hopefully change this in the future we 
are now in the process of moving the existing list to use a Discourse 
forum instead that will be made public in the beginning of May. At 
the switching point, the current list will be read only (and the 
archive will be kept alive) so people will still be able to search it 
in the future for existing answers, but won't be able to post any new 
questions. The forum will still support the pure email based 
conversation if you prefer this kind of interaction, but it will also 
allow ranking of responses and make it easier to see which answers 
are coming from whom.


You will have the opportunity to sign up for the forum when it goes 
live and I'll send a reminder for it when the time comes.


Cheers

Paul
