Feature requests and feedback¶

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/Dennis-van-Gils/python-dvg-qdeviceio/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

Explain in detail how it would work.
Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that code contributions are welcome :)
