{{page>menu}} Nightingale is a media player based on Songbird but it's also more than this. We are also building add-ons, web platforms and other stuff. Want to contribute? ===== Code ===== You can help us fix bugs or/and add new features * Nightingale Media Player is mainly written in C++ and JavaScript and we are following [[https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Mozilla_Coding_Style_Guide|Mozilla Coding Style]] plus our own [[developer_center:code_guidelines|Coding Guidelines]]. If you want to contribute code, please check out the CONTRINBUTING.md in our main repository. Interface languages used are: XML, XUL. The main repo can be found at https://github.com/nightingale-media-player/nightingale-hacking, but there are other related repos. * The Website currently uses a thin layer of php on the server side and JS on the client side. Style sheets are written in scss. The code can be found at https://github.com/nightingale-media-player/nightingale-website. * Add-ons are mainly written in JavaScript with XUL for interface. * Featherweight our add-ons web platform in work is written in PHP.

We need a refreshed documentation with brand new screen-shots and also documenting our changes. Songbird documentation is backed up, we need people to adapt it and put it on this wiki.
