Same here.

Indeed! What's still missing though is a specification of the unit
strings. The current documentation merely says that "nm" is an allowed
unit specification. A complete and general specification is not
trivial, but as a first step we could provide an explicit list of
units that is a bit longer than just one.

For verifying if H5MD is ready, and for demonstrating to the world
that it is, it would be good to have a repository of small example
trajectories. I'd be happy to contribute some protein examples.

Skype and Jabber are fine for me as well. Hangout should work theory,
but I have never used it.

I have never set up a virtual conference either, just participated.
