* ''What do I have to do now?'' Fill out the [[Features/Feature_Template|template]] and stick it on a page in the wiki. Most importantly, make it belong to the appropriate category so that we know which version you're targeting ('''TODO:''' create ''Category:SoaS_v4_Feature''). Finally, send an email to the SoaS [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas list] and incorporate any feedback you might receive.

* ''What will happen then?'' After you've incorporated feedback from the mailing lists and the proposal fits the guidelines listed above, we'll stick it on the agenda for the next of our [[Sugar_on_a_Stick_meetings|meetings]] where it'll be evaluated and voted on. We might ask you to make further adjustments and revisit it at a later point or approve the feature directly. We're looking forward to hearing about your ideas!

* ''How does evaluation happen?'' Your proposal needs a majority of ''YAY'' votes from the release team (determined for a given release by the release manager - the v4 release manager is Sebastian Dziallas, and the current relase team is formed by Peter Robinson, Mel Chua and Sebastian Dziallas) to get approval. Discussion will happen at a weekly meeting, while the decisions will be announced to the SoaS mailing list.'''
