12. Contributing to the Project
Mixxx is a community-driven project involving many DJs worldwide. Without the
contributions from these DJs, Mixxx would not exist, and we’re constantly
looking for more contributors.
We want to make it as easy as possible for people to get involved in Mixxx
development. First off, to be clear you don’t have to be a programmer to
contribute.

your controller

is up to date.

about our new releases when they come out. Any exposure on the web and in
print helps our project grow, and is much appreciated.
