Hi @RDPerera ! Thanks for mentoring me, This is my first time contributing to opensource. I feel little confused but if you can share the guidance where i can clearly find workflow to start with (just give me starter key). It would be helpful.

RDPerera commented 3 weeks ago

We already setup the initial project template here.

You can create a fork from that and follow this guide to build the connector.

If you need any help or have questions while doing that, feel free to ask here :)
