Contributing
I (Andrew Belt) generally do not accept external contributions to the Rack codebase itself.
Before writing a single line of code, most features and bug fixes require
- research to devise the best solution with a convincing argument
- testing on relevant platforms, audio/MIDI devices, different plugins, etc.
- dedication to maintain the code in the future
- generalizability to solve similar issues, and flexibility for solving future solutions without an entire rewrite
- sometimes legal review
Instead, there are many other areas where contributions are much appreciated.
- Dependencies of Rack. Especially nanovg‘s performance, rtaudio/rtmidi‘s stability and compatibility, and maybe even touch support in GLFW. You would be helping many more projects than just Rack.
- your own or others’ Rack plugins
- Maintaining the VCV community plugin database. Volunteer at https://github.com/VCVRack/community/issues/248.
- Edits to the VCV Rack manual.
I will consider your contribution to Rack if you first open a GitHub issue with a detailed design proposal, which may create an open discussion before the change is implemented. By submitting code through a pull request, you agree to assign the copyright of your code to Andrew Belt to be licensed under the BSD-3-Clause (see Licenses).
