Contribution Guidelines

Thanks for helping keep this list useful.

Adding an entry

• Open a pull request that adds one entry per line, in this format: - [Name](https://example.com) - Short description.
• Keep the description short, factual and ending with a period.
• Place the entry in the most specific existing section. Only propose a new section when several entries would live in it.
• Keep entries in alphabetical order within their section (case-insensitive, ignoring a leading "The"). Entries described as "Official" stay at the top. Official Resources, Social Media, Closed Source, Supported Devices and Pre-built Devices keep their curated order.
• Entries must be MeshCore-related, working and maintained. Dead links and abandoned projects are removed.
• Check that the entry is not already listed elsewhere in the readme; duplicate links fail CI.
• Do not add your own project more than once, and do not add affiliate links.

Quality bar

An entry needs a reason to exist: firmware, client, library, tool, map, documentation or community that a MeshCore operator would actually use. Marketing pages, link farms and empty repositories are rejected.

Before opening the pull request

• Run the linter: npx awesome-lint.
• Verify every link you added resolves (the Dead links workflow runs lychee on all Markdown files).
• Use a descriptive pull request title, for example Add MeshCore Foo.

Updating or removing an entry

Corrections, renames and removals of dead projects are welcome. Explain the reason in the pull request description.
