http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php We have a section to build mixxx on different platforms there. If you want to start you can pick one of our easy or polish bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bugs?field.tag=easy&orderby=status&start=0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bugs?field.tag=polish&orderby=status&start=0 If you need help with building or how to start on a bug feel free to write here. We currently still have a little issue with our windows build environment but there are hints on the mailing list here how to get everything working. But I recommend using Linux > Also, I am fluent > in Tagalog (philippines language). Would it be of more help to update the > manual in that language? (I don't think we have it as of late). Let me > know, I'm all ears. That would also help. We have a section on that in the wiki as well http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/internationalization Currently it would be nice if you can help translate mixxx itself. We are currently in the process of updating our manual and reviewing it, so there are bound to be a lot of changes there soon. Once we finished that you can also translate the manual if you like. Again if anything does not work out please feel free to write us. Thanks for offering your help.
