New features and refactoring are welcomed as a Pull Request on GitHub. +Around July 2017, it was discovered that Eugene had different intentions/goals +for the project than some contributors had. Although the developers were +hesitant to create a fork as it would fracture/confuse the community even +further, it was deemed necessary in order to preserve a community-focused fork. +To reiterate this more clearly: +Airsonic's goal is to provide a full-featured, stable, self-hosted media server +based on the Subsonic codebase that is free, open source, and community driven. + +Pull Requests are always welcome. Keep in mind that we strive to balance +stability with new features. As such, all Pull Requests are reviewed before +being merged to ensure we continue to meet our goals. License -------
