[fundamental]

I'm one of the maintainers for the ZynAddSubFX open source musical synthesizer. It's a mixed codebase with a C++ core, some low level C routines, and a mostly Ruby based interface. I'm trying to broaden the contributor base at the moment.

There's plenty of roles which could use an extra hand ranging from community management, testing, documentation, development, and advanced DSP improvements. Each role would use a different set of skills, but it's an open source collaboration, so don't be afraid to try something you're unfamiliar with and want to learn about (it was a great learning experience back when I was a student).

If any of this sounds interesting then please see http://zynaddsubfx.sf.net/contribute.html for more information regarding specific roles.

For anyone casually looking through this thread, any feedback on the general contributing page? I'm trying to find the right balance between presenting something that can be skimmed, but still has the deeper information to inform someone interested in each role and I'm unsure if it's settled with the right tradeoff.
