Dear Galaxy Community,

Galaxy has teamed up with Biostar to create a Galaxy User support forum at https://biostar.usegalaxy.org!

We want to create a space where researchers using Galaxy can come together and share both scientific advice and practical tool help. Whether on usegalaxy.org, a Cloudman instance, or any other Galaxy, if you have something to say about Using Galaxy, this is the place to do it!

Current integration with usegalaxy.org * We imported the whole history of galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu mailing list into Biostar * If you access Galaxy Biostar from usegalaxy.org (menu Help/Galaxy Biostar) you will be automatically logged in. * A Galaxy Biostar account will be created for you if it did not previously exist. To obtain this account’s password please use the password reset feature of Galaxy Biostar (https://biostar.usegalaxy.org/accounts/password/reset/). * When you have a question, search Biostar directly from any Galaxy tool page.

Read more about how to get started at https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Support/Biostar

Roll-out phase * Galaxy Biostar is available at http://biostar.usegalaxy.org and will be our primary avenue for support * The galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu mailing list will continue to be supported during the transition but starting now please use the biostar.usegalaxy.org forum to ask all questions about using Galaxy. * Please do not double post to both Galaxy Biostar and galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu * Send us feedback through the forum's post "Welcome to Biostar" to tell us what you think.

What’s next * Notice will be given when the galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu mailing list is retired. * Archives of galaxy-user@bx.psu.edu will remain accessible.

We hope you will like the change and look forward to any feedback you may have.

Thank you for using Galaxy! The Galaxy team
