That is good news.
As for adding to WeeWX, typically only services/drivers etc that are/will
be widely used are added to the code base. Anything else is maintained
externally by the author and made available as they see fit, that can be
anything from a few scratchie bits of code and some instructions on a web
page somewhere through to a WeeWX extension that can be easily
installed/managed/removed by the user using the wee_extension utility.
Extensions etc are commonly listed in the WeeWX wiki
<https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki> (anyone can edit/add to the wiki)
with a link to any source files/extension packages (the WeeWX wiki is great
for documenting instructions etc but does not store files as such). Many of
us host our code on GitHub <https://github.com/> (just search for weewx in
GitHub) and many of the extensions you will find in the wiki have links to
GitHub repos.
