Re: [Audacity-devel] [Audacity-nyquist] How to publish a Nyquist plug-in?

[David R. S. <dav...@sh...>]

Hi Dave,

There are several possibilities, which include sending to this list; to 
the Audacity development list (they'll probably be keen on this plug) at

    Linkname: audacity-devel Info Page
         URL: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/audacity-devel

posting to this list; putting on your website (as I've done with several 
of mine, most of which require updating); the Audacity users list

    Linkname: Audacity-users Info Page
         URL: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/audacity-users


I'm cc-ing this response to the Audacity devel list too.

And Steve the fiddle might want to put it on a blog for Audacity  Nyquist 
users, not sure where that's at for the moment.

Thanks for emailing to this list too - reminds me I had a plug Paul Beach 
posted a link to a while back from you, haven't checked it out yet.

Thanks

David
