The web site for QUANTUM ESPRESSO is http://www.quantum-espresso.org/.
Releases and patches can be downloaded from this
site or following the links contained in it. The main entry point for
developers is the QE-forge web site:
http://www.qe-forge.org/.
The recommended place where to ask questions about installation
and usage of QUANTUM ESPRESSO, and to report bugs, is the pw_forum
mailing list: pw_forum@pwscf.org. Here you can receive
news about QUANTUM ESPRESSO and obtain help from the developers and from
knowledgeable users. Please read the guidelines for posting,
section 1.3.1!
You have to be subscribed in order to post to the pw_forum
list. NOTA BENE: only messages that appear to come from the
registered user's e-mail address, in its exact form, will be
accepted. Messages "waiting for moderator approval" are
automatically deleted with no further processing (sorry, too
much spam). In case of trouble, carefully check that your return
e-mail is the correct one (i.e. the one you used to subscribe).
Since pw_forum averages
10 message a day, an alternative
low-traffic mailing list,
pw_users@pwscf.org, is provided for
those interested only in QUANTUM ESPRESSO-related news, such as e.g. announcements
of new versions, tutorials, etc.. You can subscribe (but not post) to
this list from the QUANTUM ESPRESSO web site (``Contacts'' section).
If you need to contact the developers for specific questions
about coding, proposals, offers of help, etc., send a message to the
developers' mailing list: user q-e-developers, address
qe-forge.org.
1.3.1 Guidelines for posting to the mailing list
Life for subscribers of pw_forum will be easier if everybody
complies with the following guidelines:
- Before posting, please: browse or search the archives -
links are available in the "Contacts" page of the QUANTUM ESPRESSO web site:
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/contacts.php. Most questions
are asked over and over again. Also: make an attempt to search the
available documentation, notably the FAQs and the User Guide.
The answer to most questions is already there.
- Sign your post with your name and affiliation.
- Choose a meaningful subject. Do not use "reply" to start a new
thread:
it will confuse the ordering of messages into threads that most mailers
can do. In particular, do not use "reply" to a Digest!!!
- Be short: no need to send 128 copies of the same error message just
because you this is what came out of your 128-processor run. No need to
send the entire compilation log for a single error appearing at the end.
- Avoid excessive or irrelevant quoting of previous messages. Your
message must be immediately visible and easily readable, not hidden
into a sea of quoted text.
- Remember that even experts cannot guess where a problem lies in
the absence of sufficient information.
- Remember that the mailing list is a voluntary endeavor: nobody is
entitled to an answer, even less to an immediate answer.
- Finally, please note that the mailing list is not a replacement
for your own work, nor is it a replacement for your thesis director's work.
