| == What is an enhancement? == | | == What is an enhancement? == |
| It's sometimes easy to mistake new packages, or enhancements, for features. Features have a very specific definition, but here are some questions to ask yourself before engaging the feature process.
| | Enhancements are: |
| | | 1. Less documented improvements to a Fedora release which do follow the feature process and do not fit the feature definition below. |
| 1. Is this change very visible to end users?
| | 2. Added to the release summary by anyone under heading of Other Enhancements. The release summary for each release lives in the following namespace: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/<release number>/ReleaseSummary |
| * In this case "end user" means "someone in the audience for this change," which could be desktop users, developers, or system administrators.
| |
| 2. Does this change require intervention?
| |
| * This might be a configuration file format change, or something else that will perturb unsuspecting end users.
| |
| * A change that requires a very simple intervention to revert behavior is not necessarily a feature.
| |
| 3. Is this something that will interest the lay press?
| |
| * The lay press in this case includes Linux-oriented sites.
