Introduction

This repository hosts a collection of FLAC-encoded sounds that Tox client developers may pick up and use freely in their software.

Contributing

At the top level, the repository is organized by the name of the sound pack. Underneath that, the repository is organized into categories of sounds, where each sound is named according to its purpose (See the "File Naming" and "Sound Descriptions" sections below). Submitted sound collections must be formatted according to this naming scheme and folder structure, so that clients are easily able to plug in different sound collections.

To contribute, just submit a pull request containing your FLAC-encoded sounds. Your work must be released under a free license in order to be included in this repository, and this license must be included in the top level of your respective sound collections.
