Contact us / mailing list

The preferred method of contact the mx community with general questions is via the low traffic mailing list.

Required browser

mx has only been tested with Firefox 2 or higher. Because of the javascript speedups available in Firefox 3+ we highly recommend using it. Unfortunately it is very likely that you will see rendering errors using Internet Explorer (any version).

FAQ

A FAQ is available. Feel free to ask your questions there.

Application help

We've recently tied in-application help to this wiki. You can access that help here.

While working in an installation of mx the wiki-help links will take you to the aforementioned help. If you don't find help after clicking the wiki-help link try the old help link the application. If there is help text there feel free to copy it over to the wiki, its permanent home! We are planning that the old help link will will ultimately be revamped for project-specific help for those who want to customize comments to project members.

Guides

  • Thanks to Johan Lijleblad there is a now a basic guide to working with matrices available that helps users start using the matrix-related functions of mx. That guide was originally written for a specific project, but we've translated it to a more generally applicable set of help that is now available on this wiki. The alpha version, including all of Johan's figures or replica's there of is now completely loaded to the wiki. This guide is somewhat outdated at this point.
  • A short guide to ontology management in mx by the Hymenoptera Ontology Wiki can be found here.
