| − | Because GMOD is a large and diverse collection of projects, it can frequently be difficult to find the right place to ask a question that will actually get answers. GMOD support is available from several different sources. This page introduces each support option and offers guidance on which one is the most appropriate for your question.

| − | The GMOD project has many [[GMOD Mailing Lists|mailing lists]] and if one exists on your topic of interest then this that mailing list is often the best place to start. First, search the list archives to see if your question has already been asked and answered. If it hasn't then subscribe to the list and then post your question. (Most GMOD mailing lists are subscriber-only to cut down on spam.)

| − | === Which List? ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If your question is about how [[Chado]] and another component like [[GBrowse]] and [[Apollo]] interact, it is best to subscribe and post the question to both the Chado and the component lists.

| − | | + | |
| − | For applications that don't have a dedicated mailing list, you can post your question to the [http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/gmod-devel|general GMOD developers mailing list] which is fairly low traffic but there is a good chance that you would at least get directed to the right person to ask a question.
