I think this is good! I might want to do an even harder marketing pass on the language to make it clearer why new developers should want to get involved.

Can you add a specific request for visually impaired user feedback?

"We especially want to gather feedback from the visually impaired and blind communities to ensure that the next generation of mixxx is the most accessible it has ever been"

Let's also say that this is a big project that will require a lot of help, and this is a great opportunity to have a big impact on the ground floor of a big effort on a popular project in a way that will give developers valuable experience. Let's sell people on the opportunities that working on mixxx can open up -- that's how I got good enough to get hired by Google!

I have reworked this point and also added further about that in the Get Involved section intro - let me know what you think!

That's a very nice newspost, thank you.
Clear overview of the goal with the images.
Good to mention this will be a beter UI for the visually impaired.

As we also have users without technical background reading the newsposts it would be nice to add an explanation or link to pages where people can find about QMl like wikipedia, the Qt reference guide (not the goal to create a complete exposé about QML)

Maybe a footnote with a link on QML* ? A page with a good description can make people enthusiastic to help.
WDYT?

Fair point, added an hyperlink to Wikipedia for the first occurrence of "QML"

Lets hope the press doesn't run with this and overinterpret/clickbait the hell out of this.
