Features/Policy/Status

Periodic Status

Level of code completion status is show as a percentage under the Current Status section of the feature page.
Percentage completion does not reflect the level of unfixed bugs or that the feature has been fully tested.

Feature pages should be updated no less than monthly
Feature pages should be updated to reflect the current status of the feature by the following milestones on the Release Engineering schedule:
- Feature Freeze--features not 100% complete at Feature Freeze should be updated no less than every two weeks until Beta Freeze
- Beta Freeze--all features should be 100% complete. If necessary, the feature page adjusted to reflect everything completed (so as to reflect 100% completion).
- Admon note--the FeatureList wiki page should be updated at Feature Freeze to state that Feature or Beta Freeze is in effect.

A summary status for all the features targeted to a particular release will be collected on a summary page which references and briefly explains the feature
- The Feature Wrangler will maintain this page
- This page will be located at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/<release number>/FeatureList

Feature Wrangler will send reminders and announcements to [1] list as necessary. All feature owners are encouraged to subscribe to [2].
Reminders to developers about upcoming feature deadlines will be sent to fedora-devel-announce@redhat.com
Nag mail to developers with stale feature page updates will be blind copied (bcc'd) on an email to fedora-devel-announce@redhat.com so that they receive a private copy of the email as well. This is usual done as single email for all of the stale feature pages.

Feature pages not meeting the specified status update guidelines will receive a reminder from the Feature Wrangler asking them to do so.
Feature pages which continue to reflect a stale status will be sent to FESCo to determine if the feature should continue to be listed as a feature of the release
