Once the idea is described in a [[Features/Feature_Template|wiki page]] (following the process described in detail below) and a maintainer is found who will work on the idea, it can be proposed to be part of a Sucrose release cycle (in the case of platform features) or as part of the on-going Sugar activity update process. In either case, work on new features will be [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org tracked] and, in the case of platform features, if finished in time, they will find their way in the Sucrose stable release (See [[0.88/Roadmap]] for details of the current release cycle.
