0.1 Question and problems

For general questions and issues please visit the GGIR google group and create a new thread.

However, if you are familiar with GitHub, you are also welcome to report your issue via the GitHub issue tracker.

Note that support in these places is based on voluntary efforts and we encourage you to try and help other users with questions.

Questions are valuable as they help us understand the challenges you run into and they occasionally help us to identify a bug in the code. To make this practical, please AVOID sending your questions through personal messages. Instead, post them on public platforms. This approach allows others to benefit from the discussions, minimises the need for us to respond to the same inquiries repeatedly, enhances the likelihood that others can answer your questions when we’re unavailable, and acknowledges the volunteer effort invested in responding to queries.
