<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Nut-Devs,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I have general question to the contribution and the handling of new code in the NUT-Project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We would like to implement our USV-Solution as a driver to NUT, but we are having the problem, that<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">we need a powerful “C”-based gpio library for it.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We discussed this topic internally, and we are having the opinion, that it does make sense, to write this library separate from<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">a NUT-driver, and publish this gpio-library with GPLv2 to the community on our own github repo. In the driver itself, we would like to use<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">this library like an API. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In the NUT-project, we want to implement the the christ-usv driver and customize the autotools project for a dynamic compile of our driver.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The gpio-library would be a specific dependency of the christ-usv-driver and should not affect the other drivers or the whole project itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We would to contribute our driver back to the official project/community and don’t want to fork it.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Are there any reserves for new open source library dependencies in the autotools project?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Are there any reserves in general with a view of our planed process?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Does this process fit to your normal code contribution guidelines?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Do you see any better options for a code contribution?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
