TWiki Feature Proposals
New feature proposals are by nature for the work-in-progress TWiki release code named LimaRelease. When you add a proposal you must create a new topic describing your proposal. You can use the form below. For the community to accept a proposal you must propose something that you are prepared to implement yourself or by an already committed developer. Details at TWikiReleaseManagementProcess and SevenDayFeedbackPeriod. The 7-day feedback period does not start until:- There is a committed developer
- The date of commitment field has a date (so the application below can show it)
- To track the last changed proposal topics with committed developer visit ChangedFeatureProposals
- To track the last changed proposal topics without a committed developer visit ChangedFeatureProposalsUncommitted
- Submit new feature request
- Feature Proposal Summary of Work-in-Progress Release
- Proposals
- New Feature Proposals (7-Day Feedback Period)
- Feature Proposals Ready For Release Meeting
- Accepted proposals waiting to be implemented
- Accepted proposals in progress of implementation

Submit new feature request
Please start a new topic for each feature request.- Consider filing a Support question unless you are very sure that you cannot do what you want with the current feature set or with one of the many Plugins.
- Please scan over the existing feature requests to see if it has been requested already.
- NOTE: you might want to make yourself familiar with our Acceptance/Rejection Process of new features.
- If you are including code to implement features, thanks for contributing to TWiki's development! Please see the PatchGuidelines to make your patch easier to apply.

Feature Proposals Ready For Release Meeting
A Feature proposal is ready for release meeting per release process when- Proposals that have a committed developer willing to drive the proposal to implementation. There is no requirement how soon and a developer is later allowed to uncommit if it later turns out that he does not have the time.
- Proposals have had at least one concern raised by any person with a twiki.org access
- The community has had enough time to end the discussion, but could not reach full consensus
- It is normally a Customer Advocate that decides that a feature is ready for a release meeting.

Discussion
I renamed the topic from TWikiFeatures04x02 to TWikiFeature04x02 (singular), in anticipation of a picklist for proposed feature topics. -- PeterThoeny - 30 Oct 2006 Ken, I tried to make sure that unreviewed items are not marked %DONE%, but I realised that while I know what has been implemented, there is no record of what has been accepted. How can I tell? There are very few ticks above, surely there has been more discussion than that? There needs to be some sort of link to the release meeting decision. Later: I reverse-engineered as many approvals as I could.... CC Thanks CC: Actually many of those you call 14-day rule are consensus decisions. They were not ignored. They were simply discussed and ended up with an agreed spec and no open concerns. Then I evaluate that there is no need to waste release meeting time on them. But I will consider this scenario in the twiki app I work on so this "consensus reached" state can be flagged as opposed to "open concerns". Example is ChangeTopicContextOnTheFly. Don't worry about changing the decision description again above. I do that when I implement the app and populate the form fields. -- KennethLavrsen - 09 Apr 2007 OK. I was too curious to not walk quickly through the proposals. All of them were handled correctly. It shows that the 14-day rule works well. In no case were a proposal totally ignored. There was just no concerns raised. Good to see the process working. When the twiki app is done it will be possible to make a search to show those that are under the 14-day rule - before and after. It will also enable the customer advocates to put a little acknowledgement on those that are 14-rule accepted for traceability when people ask how the decision was made a year later. The difference between a 14-day rule acceptance and a consensus acceptance is that with consensus there has been concerns raised - typically about spec - and an agreement has been reached with no concerns left open. -- KennethLavrsen - 09 Apr 2007 Please note that on 22 Apr 2007 the TWiki Application for new features and especially the ChangeProposalForm has been updated to match the process. But there is still another days work in updating the current proposal topics and to replace this page by a number of searches. But 90% of the work is done. -- KennethLavrsen - 23 Apr 2007 All old proposals - also the completed and parked now have the required forms and the concent that puts them in the right buckets. So from now on the process is no longer manual. Easier for all of us. It was about 30 hours of work to get that done by we Customer Advocates will have a much more reasonable job now. -- KennethLavrsen - 25 Apr 2007 Excellent work Kenneth! It must have taken quite some time to update all proposals, thank you very much for making the release process more transparent for all of us! I added a cache to this topic since it loads kind of slow due to the many reports. -- PeterThoeny - 27 Apr 2007 I added a new report at the top, see section Feature Proposal Summary of Work-in-Progress Release. This makes it easier to get an overview on what is currently going on. -- PeterThoeny - 2010-07-29
