Creating free and open source software is fun on one hand but a huge amount of work on the other hand. Even though you're not a programmer perhaps you are willing to help this project in growing and getting better. In most cases FOSS is the success of a community, not a lonesome champion.
Documentation
One of the most essential parts of a successful program aside from the code is the documentation. One can never have enough from it, but first of all we need some basic work to be done. Contact us on Github if you're willing to help us out in this topic.
Presets
Another very essential part are factory presets shipped with the product. They need to meet a specific standard in quality like an equal output volume - ask us on Github if you want to contribute.
Demos
You are able to create high quality video and/or audio material? We're always deeply grateful for some cool demos presenting guitarix' capabilities and sound.
Bug Reports
Please file bug reports whenever you encounter a problem with our code. This helps a lot in providing something like quality management.
Patches
If you know how to handle code - we're always happy about Pull Requests!
