Support
Find the right channel for user questions, development issues, documentation, and community discussion — from Stack Overflow to the OpenMS mailing list.
User questions: The best way to get help is to post your question to a site like Stack Overflow, with thousands of users available to answer. We wish we could keep an eye on these sites, or answer questions directly, but the volume is just a little overwhelming!
Development issues: For OpenMS development-related matters (e.g. bug reports), please see Community.
Discussion
The main forum for longer-form discussions — new features, roadmap changes, and project-wide decisions. Announcements about releases, developer meetings, sprints, and conference talks are also made here.
