Re: Level needed to be a developer in ardour.

We're not a closed shop. Does this look like a closed shop to you:

Fons Adriaensen, Brian Ahr, John Anderson, Marcus Andersson, Nedko
Arnaudov, Hans Baier, Ben Bell, Sakari Bergen, Christian Borss, Thomas
Brand, Chris Cannam, Jeremy Carter, Jesse Chappell, Thomas Charbonnel,
Sam Chessman, André Colomb, Paul Davis, Gerard van Dongen, John Emmas,
Colin Fletcher, Dave Flick, Hans Fugal, Robin Gareus, Nil Geisweiller,
Christopher George, Chris Goddard, J. Abelardo Gutierrez, Jeremy Hall,
Audun Halland, David Halter, Steve Harris, Melvin Ray Herr, Carl
Hetherington, Rob Holland, Robert Jordens, Stefan Kersten, Armand
Klenk, Julien de Kozak, Matt Krai, Georg Krause, Nick Lanham, Colin
Law, Joshua Leach, Ben Loftis, Nick Mainsbridge, Tim Mayberry, Doug
Mclain, Johannes Mueller, Todd Naugle, André Nusser, Bent Bisballe
Nyeng, Jack O'Quin, Len Ovens, Pavel Potocek, Nimal Ratnayake, Julien
Rivaud, David Robillard, Julien Roger, Taybin Rutkin, Andreas Ruge,
Sampo Savolainen, Rodrigo Severo, Daniel Sheeler, Per Sigmond, Lincoln
Spiteri, Mike Start, Mark Stewart, Nathan Stewart, Roland Stigge,
Petter Sundlöf, Mike Täht, Roy Vegard, Thorsten Wilms, Damien Zammit,
Grygorii Zharun,


What we don't have are the resources to offer much of a holding hand to
people who want to get started. The people in the list above (all the
programmers who have contributed to Ardour) all just managed, one way or
another, to give into the source and get started. If that's not feasible
for some developers, then yes, it's a shame, but it's not something we can
do much about at this time (and probably at any time).

We do welcome new developers, and their contributions. We just can't act as
a guides or mentors until you're at least fairly comfortable with the
existing (large) codebase.
