This is not a problem for Lumiera. We´ve got many advanced amateurs and professionals in the team. The whole development model is revolved around openness and "doers". Contributions is made as easy as possible, this is why Webgit was made. The easy-to-contribute is *not* only limited to coders. OK, take myself as an example: I´m a professional video editor; in the sense that I make my money on it and I get projects from clients. I´m not a great coder, although I try to learn. And although I can´t do any usable coding for the Lumiera project, I´ve been given responsibilities for other stuff. That´s because I specifically asked to help. We´re really lucky in that the core developers as of now really understand what a professional video editor needs - I suspect (and know for some) they are really advanced users of video editing software. Anyway, there is room for us non-coders in the Lumiera project. But there is a difference in saying "I want this, I want this, I want this" and coming up with a great idea and documentation of how this should work and why it is good (and needed). Anyway; much of such more high level stuff is far, far from now. It takes great time to do a pro video editor from the ground up. :-) AND: More contests? :p I made logos for a few of the names I really liked in the name voting process, one of those was Lumiera. I´m all for doing brainstorming around this etc. as many have said. -- Beste helsing, Odin Hørthe Omdal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.velmont.net _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
