🌱 Towards a More Open and Collaborative Community

Moving forward, we'd like to embrace The Apache Way by fostering a more open, transparent, and contributor-friendly community.
We're committed to the principle that:

"Community Over Code"

To support this vision, we plan to:

• Encourage more developers to participate in FastExcel
• Provide contributors with:
  • relevant issue assignments,
  • assistance with code reviews,
  • and appropriate project management permissions

Our goal is to build an active and inclusive environment where contributors can grow, collaborate, and make a lasting impact together.

Thanks again for your continued support and contributions! ❤️
