He wanted the new program to be easy to use – and easy to learn for people without expert knowledge of audio editing. Bacon originally launched the project [1] under the name Jonoedit. He announced the launch in his podcast and asked for developers to join the fun.
Laszlo Pandy [2] heard the call and became the project's maintainer, and the name was soon changed to Jokosher. The current version of Jokosher is 0.10.1.
