Audacity aims to be a simple to use but powerful audio editor.

We have design guidelines to make the user interface consistent and more discoverable.
We have coding standards to improve consistency in how we code.
We have a vibrant community beyond the developers who support users, get feedback, test and document Audacity.

This is how we get from ideas to new releases of Audacity

If you're a programmer, check out the developer guide and subscribe to the audacity-devel mailing list
If you are already compiling Audacity, great. If not tell us where our instructions for doing so suck.

We always need more developers!

Rather than just post a pull request to our GitHub repo, join our developers' mailing list and introduce yourself! You'll have a far better chance of your proposed changes being adapted and accepted. You don't have to have a pull request already. We're very happy to have lurkers on the list. If you are keen to interact, you are welcome to:
- tell us if there's any bugs on the Bug List you've solved or
- tell us about any new or improved features you are working on.
