GO Annotation on GitHub

• The Gene Ontology uses an issue tracker hosted on GitHub to record and track annotation issues.
• The go-annotation repo on GitHub may be accessed here.
• Contact information for each group that contributes to the consortium is available here

GO Annotation on gitter

• The GO annotation group uses gitter as an informal chat service.
• Curators are free to ask questions or share ideas on gitter, with issues elevated to more formal tracking (i.e. github/go-annotation or wiki documentation), as needed.
• Curators can login to gitter using their github accounts.

GO Annotation on Google Drive

• The Gene Ontology uses Google drive to host notes and spreadsheets for annotation review and annotation working groups.
• The GO Annotation folder on Google Drive may be accessed here.
