Chris,<div><br><div>sorry I didn't pay attention (was in a hurry). I know that you have helped with the documentation and wouldn't have suggested to you to put it on the wiki if I recognized it was you. I thought it was a new user. And I didn't want to criticize but only point out (to the assumed new user) that the wiki can be improved by everyone.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Do you have suggestion of how to improve the documentation or the test suite? What is the barrier to the wiki?</div><div>I have mentioned that before (on the dev-list) but I think a monthly phone conference could help to coordinate those kind of issues.</div>

Dear Roland:<br>
<br>
It is not my intention to be confrontational, your assistance was very useful, I appreciate it very much, and I realize that it's not your job to comment everything (or even answer my questions on this mailing list). Further, I have actually contributed significantly to the gromacs wiki in the past, but it's not a wiki anymore and the barrier to posting is enough that I'm not the only person who has given up on it.<br>
<br>
Second, I would like to mention that as a user I am extremely hesitant to upgrade my gromacs version due to the lack of commenting and lack of a good test suite. Anybody who used the free energy code with TIP4P in 2008/2009 or used the pull code in the early versions of gromacs 4 will probably agree with me that testing and documentation are at least as important as new code.<br>
<br>
I'm not asking anybody else to add documentation or test suites. I'm simply pointing out that gromacs is falling behind in these areas and it is not necessarily a good thing. I think that there is a utility in simply noting this.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Chris.<br>

Please contribute you experience to the wiki pages. Good documentation requires many people to help. The (main) developers are often too busy too<br>
