Accepting public contributions?

[scottyhq]

For quite a while the following notice has been in the 'about' section of the repository. Would it be possible to share an approximate timeline or prerequisites for acceptable pull requests?

NOTICE - This repository is currently a mirror of an internally hosted project and is in the process of migrating the development to this public repository. In near future we will accept external pull requests.

I'm interested in particular in helping with user-facing documentation, but I'm sure there are others out there who could be making contributions if permitted!

Dear @scottyhq thank you for reaching out and for your interest in contributing to ISCE3. We truly appreciate your patience and support as we work through this transition.

Due to factors beyond our control, progress on fully opening up the repository and accepting pull requests has been slower than we had hoped. We understand how this delay may be frustrating, especially for community members like you who are eager to contribute.

The good news is that most of the issues we've faced have been resolved, and we’re now focused on addressing one final bureaucratic step. We’re optimistic this will be resolved within the next month. If so, we’ll be able to start accepting pull requests soon after. If there will be further delays, we’ll explore alternative approaches and will update you and the community with a more precise timeline.

In any case, we commit to providing a clearer update by the end of February 2025, if not sooner.

Thank you again for your patience and your interest to contribute to ISCE3.
