[Gmod-help] NESCent summer school

[Dave Clements, GMOD Help Desk]

Jeff,

The PI track is geared towards people who are considering whether or
not to use GMOD.  Therefore, it will be very high level, and is
probably not what you want.  The implementation track is geared
towards people who do the installation, configuration, data loads,
etc..  Both tracks will touch on how to use GMOD components once they
are installed, but that won't be the focus of either track.

So, I am guessing that the GMOD Summer School is what you are looking
for.  However, I am interested to know if you have any specific
questions that we might be able to help with.  Are there particular
parts of GMOD that are hard to use or understand?  Are any parts of
the documentation particularly obtuse, or is there no documentation to
be had for some things?  A part of my job is to address issues like
these and I welcome any direction you can offer.

If you are going to the Arthropod Genomics Symposium in April, then
you can also speak to Scott Cain or myself in person.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Dave Clements
GMOD Help Desk
