~~It looks like that at the time you tried to reach GitHub, the website was having some issues and went unreachable.  
Now it is now working correctly.~~

The webpage that Google directed you to is kinda in progress, we are in the process of creating the new pages for describing the new software

Thanks. We would like to try MetaPhlAn 3 if you think it’s ready for users. We have some exciting data on drug-resistant bacteria in rural stream microbiomes.  
Daniel Barich will give it a try.
