Text

In order to help organize an open source community, the OpenMx project maintains a web site (http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu) that hosts binary and source versions of the software and several forms of tutorials and reference documentation. On the web site, a set of open–access forums have been established to allow the SEM community a place to discuss SEM models, theory, and methodology. In addition, help on OpenMx is available on the web site from discussion forums and a community–maintained Wiki. Finally, a set of developer forums is also hosted in order to allow statistical programmers a place to communicate about new ideas and patches that may become part of the base OpenMx project.
