How to become a DGuitar Developer

Hello First of all thanks for your interest in developing/contributing to DGuitar.

Process to become part of the project

Get the latest Dguitar version here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=110320
Select one or two tasks from the TODO.TXT and let me know which ones have you picked.
After I let you know that nobody else is working on those tasks, review the Technical Documents
Let me know how are you thinking on implementing those tasks to see if there might be a shorter or better path (there are over 220 source files)
Once you have enough code/functionality to be TESTED send it to me and I will add you to the developers group.

As you can see its up to you to reach the step 5, you can ask me as many things as you want, there are no stupid or simple questions, and as many of you..I am here to help and to learn

Hope to hear from you soon

If you really like decoding files there are some tasks at hand :

Implement the decoding/parsing of GuitarPro version 5 (*.GP5) files:
- Make sure you have read and understood the GP4 file format
- Use source code from other open source projects that implemnt GP5 decoding like TuxGuitar
Implement the decoding/parsing of PowerTab (*.ptb) files:
- There is a C++ parser already implemented see :http://developer.berlios.de/projects/ptparser/
- Download the C++ source files from http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4966&release_id=7902

For any of the above tasks is good to read Source Code Documents
