Hello, This may be better suited to Gitter, or covered elsewhere (I've search around, so apologies if this is a duplication)!
I've been evaluating Apache Ignite and I'm pretty excited about what it can do. We're predominantly a .NET stack, so I've cloned the repo and have been browsing the .NET platform code, to which I have a couple of questions regarding contributions that I'd appreciate some feedback on: * Do you accept open contributions, or do I have to be an active member in the community for a certain period to achieve contributor (not committer) status? * Do you have well defined contribution guidelines, for example - https://github.com/FakeItEasy/FakeItEasy/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md * Do you have any plans to migrate the solution to Visual Studio 2015 (or VS15 when it's out of Preview)? The is a note about upgrading the C++ libraries when using recent VS versions, but are there plans for an official move given that VS2010 isn't supported anymore? * Do you have plans to update the target framework from .NET 4.0 to .NET 4.5.* or 4.6.*? I've found improvement suggestions for .NET Core and Standard in JIRA, but .NET 4.5 itself is over 4 years old now, and 4.6 is nearly 2 years old * Do you accept pull requests for work items not currently labelled against a release in JIRA? For example: o Fixing project build order dependencies (.Core doesn't build before .Examples reliably) o Standardising async/await methods (naming, for example) o Standardising IDisposable implementation o Performance regression tests (I can see a drive on regression test coverage, are performance tests like NBench<https://github.com/petabridge/NBench> of interest?) o Inconsistent code formatting (naming, object types, etc.) o Migrating FxCop to Code Analysis (FxCop inspects IL instead of performing source tree analysis, and is no longer supported) Great project, keep up the good work!
