I've often wondered how broad is the church of codec2/freeDV developers, especially after the recent discussions ;-) ? Some of the project developers CVs are amazing but do we include many radio-ham / software hobbyists in our ranks? Because my career background is broadcasting, not software, I consider the C2/fdv as an exercise in self-training. I now know a lot more about vocoders, modems, LSPs than I did before.:-D
Open-source has never had the luxury of too much documentation therefore it's hard for someone with the enthusiasm, but not the time, to get 'into' C2/fdv software. A complex projects such as this probably need an 'orientation guide'. (yes I could do that for you if you wanted, but it might be incorrect!) The supplied READMEs are fine but you really need to scan through the .c files to find the meat; the problem here though is connecting all the concepts together into the final project. It's frustrating sometimes, analogous to finding out how a TV set works by taking it to pieces! In a nutshell do we need to encourage all and sundry (with their respective skills) to join in the development or is it just down to a few, very gifted, experts?
