I am Jim Ahlstrom, N2ADR, the author of Quisk, an SDR PC program. Quisk has had native support for FreeDV for many years. Now I would like to add RADE mode to Quisk. I realize that RADE is still under active development so a native API is not currently stable. But for now I plan to use the FreeDV-GUI coupled to Quisk.

I had a bit of trouble building and running FreeDV-GUI on Ubuntu, and I would like to make a few small changes to the README.md file. How should I do that? I can edit directly if I have permission, provide a patch file or provide a changed README.md.

Starting FreeDV-GUI by activating a Python virtual environment is a bit awkward, and it doesn't lend itself to a single-line Exec in a desktop shortcut. So I wrote a small Python script that easily starts FreeDV-GUI. It is named <base_freedv_directory>/rade-venv/bin/launch_freedv.py and you run it from any Python. It is only used on Linux, not Windows.

How should I proceed?

The usual procedure for open source projects on github is for you to fork the repo into your own account, commit changes to that, then raise a pull request to integrate your commits from your fork into the main repo.

On that note, you'll want to work in the v2.0-dev branch (and create a PR that merges into it once done with your changes). master is still based on version 1.9.x.
