Why did we develop EasyMercurial?¶

The SoundSoftware project works with research students in the UK audio and music research field.

Like much research work, this often involves developing software and collaboratively working on papers and publications. Version control is very helpful for these activities, but our experience suggests that many researchers in this field either are unaware of what version control can do, or consider it too fiddly and technical to use. Many researchers working in audio and music have no significant prior experience with typical software development tools.
