If the project is to survive we need more contribution from the community at large. There are several issues, most notably [#324](https://github.com/JimBobSquarePants/ImageProcessor/issues/324) that we cannot possibly solve on our own. + +### We, and we believe many others in the community at large want a first-class 2D imaging library with a simple API that is not simply a wrapper round an existing library. We want it to have a low contribution bar which we believe can only happen if the library is written in C#. We want it to be written to cover as many use cases as possible. We want to write the same code once and have it work on any platform supporting CoreFX. + +### With your help we can make all that a reality. + +### If you can donate any time to improve on the project, be it helping with documentation, tests or contributing code please do. + +### Thankyou for reading this. +--- + This is a complete rewrite from the ground up to allow the processing of images without the use of `System.Drawing` using a cross-platform class library. It's still in early stages but progress has been pretty quick.
