Community

VSAG is open-sourced by Ant Group and is actively maintained on GitHub. Developers, researchers, and users are all welcome to join the community.

Channels

GitHub Issues — bug reports, feature requests, design discussions. https://github.com/antgroup/vsag/issues
GitHub Discussions (when enabled) — long-running topics, Q&A, best practices.
Pull Requests — every code, doc, or example change goes through a PR. See Contributing to VSAG.
DingTalk / WeChat groups — if announced by the community, the latest invite links are pinned at the top of the repository README.

Governance

A maintainer team owns code review, releases, and the roadmap.
Every PR requires at least one approving review plus the required CI checks.
Every PR must carry both a kind/* label and a version/* label (enforced by Mergify). See the contributors’ guide.

Ways to Contribute

More than just code:

Docs — fix typos, add examples, translate pages.
Examples — contribute end-to-end demos to examples/cpp/ or examples/python/.
Benchmarks — share results on new hardware or datasets, extending the reference performance page.
Ecosystem integrations — write bindings or adapters for other languages / databases.
Articles — guest posts are welcome under docs/blog/ (see the repository README).
