## Other resources

The phyloseq project also has a number of supporting online resources,
including (but probably not limited to)

### [the phyloseq home page](http://joey711.github.com/phyloseq/)

### [the phyloseq FAQ](https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/phyloseq/inst/doc/phyloseq-FAQ.html)
I recommend checking this page, and the issues tracker,
before posting new issues.

### [Bioconductor stable release](http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/phyloseq.html).

### [the phyloseq Issue Tracker](https://github.com/joey711/phyloseq/issues)
This is the recommended location to post

(1) feature requests
(2) bug reports
(3) theoretical considerations
(4) other issues, feedback
(5) ask for help

Search previous posts,
and check [the phyloseq FAQ](https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/phyloseq/inst/doc/phyloseq-FAQ.html)
before posting a new issue.

Thank you for your interest.
