Our developers have read your guidance file ?Adding a New Slide Format to OpenSlide?, is this file all we need to develop and adjust our vendor driver? Once we finish the development of this driver, what are the steps we need to follow to add this new format to OpenSlide? Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Also see the contribution guide < https://openslide.org/docs/devguide/#contributing-your-code> and the signoff guide . When developing the driver, you should not use any information obtained under a non-disclosure agreement, or any similar restriction, that forbids you from contributing an open-source driver or from talking about the details of the slide format. Contributions should be made by sending a pull request to OpenSlide's GitHub repository < https://github.com/openslide/openslide/>. We prefer that you also contribute format documentation to the OpenSlide website at < https://github.com/openslide/openslide.github.io>, and we require that you contribute at least one sample slide file under the Creative Commons Zero license at . I should also warn you that the availability of code review is extremely limited and there is a significant backlog of pull requests. It is likely that your contribution will not be reviewed for a year or more, and it is possible that it will not be reviewed at all. You can significantly improve your chances of success by making code review easy: match the style and layout of existing format drivers, use existing infrastructure where possible, follow OpenSlide's patterns for memory allocation and error handling, and make the code as clear as possible. I also recommend that you discuss your proposed implementation on this mailing list, or in a GitHub issue, before submitting code. What are the features of the slide format? What hardware produces it? How are the slide files structured? Are there any unusual characteristics that are difficult to implement within OpenSlide's existing API or infrastructure?
