Development of free/libre open source software is usually done by a community of
people with an interest in the tool. For scientific software, however, this is
less often the case. Most scientific software is written by only a few authors,
often a student working on a thesis. Once the paper describing the tool has been
published, the tool is no longer developed further and is left to its own device.
Here we describe the broad, multidisciplinary community we formed around a set of
tools for statistical genomics. The GenABEL project for statistical omics
actively promotes open interdisciplinary development of statistical methodology
and its implementation in efficient and user-friendly software under an open
source licence. The software tools developed withing the project collectively
make up the GenABEL suite, which currently consists of eleven tools. The open
framework of the project actively encourages involvement of the community in all
stages, from formulation of methodological ideas to application of software to
specific data sets. A web forum is used to channel user questions and
discussions, further promoting the use of the GenABEL suite. Developer
discussions take place on a dedicated mailing list, and development is further
supported by robust development practices including use of public version
control, code review and continuous integration. Use of this open science model
attracts contributions from users and developers outside the "core team",
facilitating agile statistical omics methodology development and fast
dissemination.
