How to download or buy the songs ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.173.97.237 ( talk) 08:00, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Anyone have a suggestion for a completely free file splitter for a mac? I want to cut an mp4 movie in half and have each half playable. I am not computer great so it needs to be a pretty easy program. I have no idea how to compile or use terminal or any of that stuff.-- 108.54.26.164 ( talk) 12:44, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

09:47, 17 February 2013 (UTC)I've seen many open-source software projects that ask for developer participation. When I looked at the source code of a few of them, I got the impression that it would take quite a bit of effort to set up a development environment (e.g. downloading tools from multiple sources, reading the documentation to configure and troubleshoot the set-up.) It also struck me that a new contributor would need to study a lot of code (and documentation, if available) before he or she can begin to contribute.
I came to the conclusion that, to tap into a large pool of volunteer developers, a software project should be structured in a way that the minimum required effort for meaningful participation is quite low.
My question is: what are some good practices tha make it easy for volunteers to contribute to an open source software project?
I have a few ideas of my own, but would like to learn from the wisdom of others. Thanks. -- 108.2.210.178 ( talk) 16:31, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi all, having a bit a problem here. I've downloaded gcc's tar.bz2 "release" file onto my android and unpacked it into it's own directory, but I'm not exactly sure what to do next - the gcc docs are horrible! Looks like I have a bunch of source files that need to be compiled to make the compiler?! I just want a binary I can run from bash. Any ideas?

What are some headphones or earphones (that aren't too bad for your hearing) of good sound quality that is reasonably priced. I often find budget headphones have very poor sound quality. Clover345 ( talk) 19:41, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Are there any Web-based applications that will allow me to put my master password under secret sharing such that I can add and revoke users, change the secret, get a warning if someone votes to unlock while I have access to e-mail, and use a weaker layer of encryption to enforce a time lock?
