Contributing to ECP-SDK

Thank you for your interest in ECP-SDK.

Current status

ECP-SDK is developed and maintained by Egonex S.R.L. under an Open Core model. Free packages in this repository are licensed under Apache 2.0 and are available on NuGet and GitHub for development and production use, including commercial use. Premium modules are distributed under separate commercial terms.

How you can help

Bug reports

If you find a bug, please open a GitHub Issue with:

  • ECP-SDK package and version (e.g., ECP.Core x.y.z)
  • .NET version and operating system
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Expected vs actual behavior
  • Relevant code snippet (if applicable)

Important: Do not include secrets, credentials, private keys, internal architecture details, or sensitive production data in public issues. If your report requires sharing sensitive information, email security@egonex-group.com instead.

Feature requests

We welcome feature requests. Open a GitHub Issue with:

  • A clear description of the feature
  • The use case it addresses
  • Your context (industry, transport type, constraints)

We read every request. Even if we cannot implement it immediately, your feedback helps shape the roadmap.

Benchmark results

If you run the benchmarks on your hardware and get different results from those published in the README, please open an issue. We want our numbers to be honest and reproducible.

Security vulnerabilities

At this time, we are not accepting external code contributions (pull requests). This includes code, documentation, samples, tests, and benchmarks.

This may change in the future as the project matures. If we open contributions, we will update this document with the process, coding standards, and a Contributor License Agreement (CLA).
