Hello community! 👋

We're reaching out to gather input and ideas for the future development of this repository. Your feedback is crucial in shaping the project and ensuring that it meets the needs of the community.

Where we are?

Code has been validated on ESP32-C6 only, and the testing has focused on fundamental functionality. Currently, there are limited Rust wrappers available. Until all functionalities are wrapped, it's necessary to utilize the raw bindings for more advanced features.

We invite you to...

  1. Comment on this issue with your suggestions and ideas.
  2. Open Feature Requests: What new features would you like to see in esp-openthread?
  3. Report Bugs: Are there any existing bugs or issues that need our attention?
  4. Submit Documentation Issues: Any specific areas of the documentation that need improvement or clarification?

Please keep this discussion focused on future for esp-openthread. For any other topics, please open separate issues or pull requests.
