[gmx-developers] Coming on to help in GROMACS development

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi,

The only major outstanding part for 3.3 is the QM/MM interface, and 
then there's some minor clean-up and testing.  I'd suggest waiting 
until after that release before we add significant new functionality.

David recently suggested that we should fork off the 3.3-release branch 
so new stuff could be added in the head, but that only works if 
somebody volunteers to do all the boring testing in the separate 
release branch, so I'd rather force ourselves to fix it by freezing 
head until we get it done...

Cheers,

Erik
