What aspects of the GMOD project are you least satisfied with? How could
we make GMOD and its components more useful or easier to use?
- Documentation quality is variable : **11**
- improve AWS documentation : **1**
- create more tutorials : **1**
- more biologist-friendly tutorials : **1**
- improve Chado genetic module docs : **1**
- documentation is hard to find : **1**
- GBrowse installation docs are out of date, incomplete : **1**
- tutorials lag behind software : **1**
- get users/devs more involved in wikis - topics recur on gbrowse
mailing list, should be consolidated on wiki : **1**
- need more best practices to aid newbies : **1**
- Tool administration : **8**
- configuration is difficult : **3**
- dependencies make installing/upgrading difficult : **2**
- BioPerl makes installing/upgrading difficult : **2**
- GBrowse install is time-consuming : **1**
- there should be installation webinars : **1**
- Tools should be more interoperable/interlinked : **5**
- GBrowse and Tripal : **1**
- there should be a proper website to link all data and tools : **1**
- all tools should support Chado : **1**
- make it easier for users of one MOD to use another MOD : **1**
- Scope
- GFF3/Chado need a SOFA-compliant prokaryotic gene model : **2**
- support for circular molecules in Chado, GBrowse : **2**
- better phylogenetic support in Chado - phenotype schema seems to be
biased towards flies : **1**
- representation of phenotypes, anatomies : **1**

- unmaintained/unsupported projects (e.g. CMap) : **2**
- code quality - bug fix releases often break other things : **1**
- it is difficult to extract sequence and annotation data : **1**
- GBrowse configuration files should be more modular and reusable :
**1**
- GBrowse/JBrowse - better instance management, particularly single
instance for multiple projects : **1**

Are there other areas that the GMOD Help Desk should spend time on or
allocate resources to?
- GMOD does a wonderful job with meetings and summer schools where folks
get together in person. But I don't get the sense that people feel
more than a "developer" or a "user" of GMOD. Perhaps if GMOD could
transition into more a professional society with memberships,
newsletters, etc. More "remote" activities so that people feel like
they belong even if they can't attend meetings or they only go to a
single GMOD Summer school as a student. I also feel like some tools
are explored by folks but then dropped because the user can't quite
get it working, or are just exploring and they don't reach out for
help. Can the help desk try to get folks more engaged so that they are
more willing to pick up a tool again they may have tried before. I
think membership may do that. It may make folks more loyal and more
willing to stick with some of the tools which they may have troubles
with.
Perhaps memberships could even require a small fee. Can GMOD receive
revenue? Could it transition into a non-profit? Can it offer services
such as on-site training and help with installation of GMOD tools? Can
it put out books on its tools (e.g. GMOD for Dummies)... To do these
kinds of things there would need to be more help desk staff, and more
money coming in.
- Add questions asked on the mailing lists to an FAQ list
- online demos of all GMOD tools
- industry partnering on collaborative development
- customised tools for users
