As an open source project our product can only improve through the active participation and collaboration of numerous individuals from all over the world. There are many ways to get involved and we encourage every user to do so! Below are some jumping off points to get you plugged in and active in the project.

Developers: learn how to build the player from scratch, read documentation, contribute a bug fix, implement a new feature or port the player to a new OS.
Testers: run through our test plans, submit bugs.
Translators: translate the player into a new language.
