How to contribute to Qtractor?

Forums

Hello,

I have been lately having very good experience with qtractor, although very few glitches but actually i don't care because i am fed up with closed source model of software and ditched it and switched to linux and spent countless hours learning(although i don't hate it), spent countless hours searching for a nice daw on linux finally settled with qtractor, i see there is very less community help and support(as compared to other daw and software). So i really love this open model, but open model does not come without community help , so i have been using the software and i now think to contribute something(although i am not a professional coder,i know very little about programming and none about c++, with which qtractor written).

Since i am relatively very very new to this world so if anyone can give some instructions or Comments to how to contribute , it would be a great help to me and as to the software..so help is much appreciated.

Thank u for any help.....

Cheers for EveryBody out there.

all help will be much appreciated.

please consider to pour some writings about your experience and knowledge to the wiki... you may discuss, better yet, you ought to debate everything about qtractor there, at least for the long run.

start here (tl;dr maybe, i know), it boils down to first get a sf.net account (if you don0't have one yet) and handout its handle (username) and let me add ya to the board of wiki authors/editors. simple as that.

seeya.

Sure i am writing a manual(for qtractor 0.7.0) from ground up(with beginner in mind) and upload it soon...

I just wanted to know, currently how many developers are working on the projects apart from u...???

It doesn't matter anyway just asked it out of curiosity...

...does it take to change a light bulb? :)

now seriously: it's a git world nowadays.

everybody, with enough skills that is, can propose and contribute to a free, open-source development process, any project at large.

otoh. i keep and maintain (my) so called, upstream aka. official aka. original git source code repository.

that said, anyone is free to fork (clone) it, make modifications and then propose a merge or pull request, as soon as he/she sees fit! of course, last word is mine, if and when those proposals get accepted upstream.

rest assured, credit (and blame) is always granted to originators. that's inherent to the git scm system.

now, to give you some stats: most of qstuff code--qtractor included ofc.--is, roughly speaking, 90% mine, while 10% may be attributed to a lot of several others. though, i'm afraid, as being too generous on round figures ;)

cheers
