New Features
1.If there is a need (or wish!) for a new feature, add it as issue to Github. Please provide a full description about the background of the problem.
2.A developer can take on the issue and start working on it on voluntary base. If you need this feature and you have the money to pay for it, you can hire a developer and have the developer work on it. If open smart grid platform core components are involved, please discuss your change first with one of the developers/maintainers.
3.The developer makes a description on how he wants to fix the problem. Other developers can discuss the solution as well. If everybody agrees on the solution direction, the developer codes the solution and submits it (by sending in a pull request). The developer should also document the feature in the GitBook​
4.The maintainer can check the code (or assign this to someone else) and merge it with upstream releases.
