This is an open community and, obviously, anyone is free to contribute without asking for permission. However, taking over an ongoing work is nothing but a source of confusion. You may do this for work that is known to be abandoned, e.g. the author(s) explicitly mentioned that in one of their last posts, or when there is no sign of activity for long enough time (usually months, for sure not days or weeks). In the latter case, I find it reasonable to still ask for a confirmation that the submitter has no intention to continue or, at least, discuss the possibilities to join forces and help moving further. > That said, if there is some way to help along this project "the right > way", I would like to for sure!

Getting more testing on the series, reporting back the findings and/or providing fixes, would be much appreciated, for sure! The goal is to land the basic functionality first, hence any new features should be submitted afterwards. Regards, Cristian
