+1 :-) Looks like we have a good reference point, and we may include this part to NuttX Contributing Guide?
""" Restrictions on Generative AI Usage We expect authentic engagement in our community. Do not post output from Large Language Models or similar generative AI as comments on GitHub or our discourse server, as such comments tend to be formulaic and low content. If you use generative AI tools as an aid in developing code or documentation changes, ensure that you fully understand the proposed changes and can explain why they are the correct approach. Make sure you have added value based on your personal competency to your contributions. Just taking some input, feeding it to an AI and posting the result is not of value to the project. To preserve precious core developer capacity, we reserve the right to rigorously reject seemingly AI generated low-value contributions. In particular, it is also strictly forbidden to post AI generated content to issues or PRs via automated tooling such as bots or agents. We may ban such users and/or report them to GitHub. """ What I also really really like in that Matplotlib's Contributing Guide is the "difficulty" Issues label! We may mark tasks/todos as the github issues, as we do currently, but assign "difficulty" label for them, so we could redirect newcomers to solve "easy" issues in the first place to see how they work. This should eliminate completely new people taking complex tasks without understating the basics and potentially breaking stuff as we see recently. This would also eliminate new people showing up with invented long term tasks just to get GSoC but knowing noting about NuttX and having no prior experience, etc. This would help onboard new people, get them familiar with the project internals, contributing process, and we could have tasks solved step by step :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info On Sat, Feb 21, 2026 at 5:03 AM Matteo Golin <[email protected]> wrote: > > Separate from the other thread: > https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg14332.html > And starting fresh from the previous discussion: > https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg14173.html > > I would like to propose the adoption of Matplotlib's AI policy [1] on > NuttX.
