Main Page
This wiki is intended for documentation for planning/contributing to PiTiVi, the Free and Open Source video editor based on GStreamer. Feel free to edit pages on this wiki, but due to the heavy amount of spam we've been experiencing, you will need to request a user account (see Lockdown policy for details).
Contributors' documentation
See the Developer documentation category page for a complete listing of documentation aimed at contributing to PiTiVi. Here is a small overview/some starting points taken from that category:
- Easy and fun projects for new contributors
- Roadmap (long-term plans, mission statement, vision)
- Architecture: where does PiTiVi fit? What are all those components?
- Brainstorming (UI mockups and "future" features only!) and research
See also the Contributing page on the website (includes a "Why contribute to PiTiVi?" section).
