Detailed Description
''Expand on the summary, if appropriate. A couple of sentences suffices to explain the goal, but the more details you can provide the better.''

Benefit to Sugar
''What is the benefit to the platform? If this is a major capability update, what has changed? If this is a new feature, what capabilities does it bring? Why will Sugar become a better platform or project because of this feature?''

Make sure to note here as well if this feature has been requested by a specific deployment, or if it has emerged from a bug report.

Scope
''What work do the developers have to accomplish to complete the feature in time for release? Is it a large change affecting many parts of the distribution or is it a very isolated change? What are those changes?''

UI Design
''Does the feature have a direct impact on the work flow, or does it need a UI? Link here mockups, or add detailed descriptions.''

User Experience
''If this feature is noticeable by its target audience, how will their experiences change as a result? Describe what they will see or notice.''

Dependencies
''What other packages (RPMs) depend on this package? Are there changes outside the developers' control on which completion of this feature depends? In other words, does your feature depend on completion of another feature owned by someone else or that you would need to coordinate, which might cause you to be unable to finish on time? Other upstream projects like Python?''

Contingency Plan
''If you cannot complete your feature by the final development freeze, what is the backup plan? This might be as simple as "None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour." Or it might not. If your feature is not completed in time, we want to assure others that other parts of Sugar will not be in jeopardy.''

Release Notes
''The Sugar Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in the release. An Example is 0.84/Notes. The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns. If there are any such changes involved in this feature, indicate them here. You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need. This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by the release team and shipped with the release.''
