Hi,<br>
<br>
We've had a few partial discussions of how we should spell the name of<br>
our wonderful software. Nobody seems to have strong opinions either way.<br>
We may as well standardize on something. I suggest<br>
<br>
1. The capitalization "Gromacs"<br>
2. That it doesn't officially abbreviate anything<br>
<br>
</blockquote></span>
There is one important objection against 1 and that is history. All official GROMACS papers have capitalized the name.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>OK, that's a decent reason and nobody else seems to care.

We don't want to have to explain to anyone what is the difference between Charmm and CHARMM, sorry Gromacs and GROMACS when there is none.<br>
<br>
As regards 2, we all know GROMACS means many things.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

The rationale for 2 is that there's no longer a strong link with<br>
Groningen (though naturally our colleagues there are most welcome on board!)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
