The issue tracker isn't just a good place for asking questions - it's a good place for answering them too.
It's enormously helpful when users of the software answer one another's questions rather than leaving it up to the developer... and it's a good way to learn as well.
Figured out how to do something, and want to spare others the time it took?
Tutorials, tweetorials, blog posts and videos can all help add to the community documentation. Wiki entries and blog posts help spread the love!
The issue tracker is also a good place to suggest enhancements to HistoQC
Please be aware that there are enhancements planned already - you should vote or comment on any suggestions or feedback you have.
HistoQC is being developed at Case Western Reserve University. Ways to contribute (other than forking this repository) include joining Andrew's group, as well as collaborating on research projects and methods that can be integrated back into HistoQC for everyone to use.
Contact Andrew at andrew.janowczyk@case.edu if you are interested in further discussions!
You can also contribute by submitting pull requests to HistoQC itself.
