Thank you for considering contributing to eurogastp!
Our goal is to initiate an open source project which means we welcome any number of contributors who can help us making eurogastp to the most useful tool ever created to work with European gas-related transparency data.
Feel free to fork the project, improve it and and send us a pull request. We will definitely have a look at it and accept it unless we think that it breaks with fundamental principles and goals of the project.
Every bit of work helps, even seemingly small things like fixing a small nasty bug, adding an application example to the Examples folder, improving documentation etc. that every other user will appreciate. And also, please contribute what is arguably the most challenging of all tasks in eurogastp: keeping the topology file up-to-date and adjusting it to newly built gas infrastructure and changing reporting behaviors of the TSOs.
Thank you!!!
