How to install
If you're running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, see these these directions on installing Novacut.
UX designs
Software architecture
PPAs
We build packages for Ubuntu Precise and Quantal users:
Novacut Stable Releases (for artists)
Novacut Pre-Stable Releases (for adventurous folk helping with QA)
Novacut Daily Builds (for developers)
For details, see our Release Process.
Code (and other stuff) in Launchpad projects
novacut-artwork - various assets for the stunning Novacut brand identity design by IZO
novacut-prototypes - where we rapidly prototype and measure time savings of UI variations before doing full implementations
novacut - The main editor component (UI and renderer)
dmedia - Dmedia, our anwser to media asset management
filestore - hashing protocol and FileStore for Dmedia
microfiber - lightweight, high-performance CouchDB adapter for Python3
usercouch - Python3 library for starting per-user CouchDB instances
userwebkit - Python3 library for building WebKitGtk apps that talk to CouchDB
dc3 - a DBus service similar to desktopcouch (not that Dmedia now starts CouchDB itself, but we'll continue to maintain dc3 as a option for people migrating from desktopcouch)
Novacut components on ohloh
ohloh is a cool way to visualize and track our progress, and there is a page for each of the 6 modern Novacut components (dc3 is basically being replaced by usercouch, so dc3 was left out):
