Open-source projects, frameworks or tools supported by the community or application engineers.
Why should people use this category? What is it for?
This category is for sharing and collaborating on complete, ready-to-use projects that are either open-source and community-developed, or based on tools and tools provided by B&R R&D. While the core tool or framework may come from R&D, the implementation, support, and evolution are driven by experienced users, application engineers, and contributors.
How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?
Unlike Code & Libraries, which focuses on reusable code snippets or components, Community Projects contains full, functional solutions. These are not just examples — they are deployable tools or systems, often open-source, that can be used as-is or extended collaboratively. It’s also the place for community support around R&D-developed tools where implementation is user-driven.
