Jokosher is a free software, non-linear multi-track digital audio editor, which is released under the GNU GPL. It is being developed in Python, using the GTK+ interface and GStreamer as an audio back-end, initially just for the Linux operating system but now also with support for Windows and Solaris.
It was released to the public on 21 July 2006. Version 0.2 was publicly released on 20 November 2006 and it included support for extensions, LADSPA effects, and many bug fixes. Development seems to have stopped since April 2012.
At the beginning of 2006, Jono Bacon was dissatisfied with the available free and open source Linux multi-track editors, and used Cubase instead to produce LugRadio, a Linux fortnightly podcast. He later on conceived the idea of what initially was Jonoedit. The name Jokosher came later, a pun on the fact that his name contains the phrase "no bacon". The aim was to create an open source multi-track editor that was easy to use, so the user did not require an understanding of multi-track recording.
Using LugRadio, his blog and the various planet aggregators connected to it, a community came together to form the Jokosher art, coding, documentation, and packaging teams now working on the project.
The interface aims to use concepts familiar with the artists and musicians that use the program. This means that the user doesn't have to have a great deal of familiarity with multi-track editors to be able to record.
