     <li>BEING GOOD CITIZENS&nbsp;—&nbsp;The multimedia community loves us because we push the boundaries of

 <p>There are three main areas where you can contribute code:</p>
 <ul>
-    <li><b>Pitivi itself</b>, mostly UI work. It is written in Python (a flexible, easy to learn high-level 
programming language), which helps lower barriers of entry and keeps the code clean and simple. See also <a

     <li><b>Pitivi's test suite</b> (also written in Python). Feel like improving the quality of Pitivi but 
not comfortable enough to jump into the "real" code? This is for you! There's always room for improvement and 
more comprehensive testing, so think about corner cases/reproducible bugs that you'd like to see 
systematically tested, and write some test cases for them! See the <a 
href="https://developer.pitivi.org/Testing.html";>testing documentation</a> page.</li>
     <li><b>GStreamer Editing Services</b>, the C library on which Pitivi depends to do all the serious work. 
If you want to work on the backend, this is the way to go.</li>
