Hi Bill,

Great to meet you!  Though there are some other Mac users on the list, 
99% of the time I'm the only Mac developer, so I'd be really happy to 
have someone else around to help with the Mac-specific issues.

I'm glad that wx 2.5.3 is working for you...I had some problems with 
2.5.2 and haven't explored 2.5.3 much.

Last time I checked, the latest CVS version of Audacity is slightly 
less polished than the 1.2.3 release on the Mac, because I hand-tweaked 
several things for the 1.2 branch and didn't get around to porting all 
of those back to the CVS HEAD.  If you are interested, it would be 
great if you wanted to tackle some of those issues.  For the most part, 
you should just be able to copy some code from the 1.2 branch (CVS tag 
AUDACITY_1_2), but in a few cases, there might be a nice way to rewrite 
the code to make it cleaner for wx 2.5.x (for example, the way the 
Preferences item in the menu is handled).  Off the top of my head, it's 
just a few menu items and toolbar backgrounds / positioning that are 
not quite right on the Mac.

Another thing you could look at is support for Audio Units.  I recently 
checked in that code (but not in Audacity 1.2.3) and it works perfectly 
for many plug-ins, but there are some that don't work right, and I 
haven't investigated which error messages are occurring...
