[Sugar-devel] Attention Activity Developers: SoaS Activity Inclusion Criteria

[Sebastian Dziallas]

Hi all,

at today's SoaS meeting [1], we agreed on applying the SoaS Activity
Inclusion Criteria [2] as outlined in the wiki to the activity
selection for the upcoming release of SoaS v.4. We'd like to encourage
you to work towards meeting these goals and to submit your proposals
for activities and further features following the feature process [3]
according to the release schedule [4]. The final deadline to have
features *approved* (please submit your proposals well in advance) is
July 27.

We're especially lead to this step to ensure to continued stability of
future Sugar on a Stick releases and look forward to working with you!
Please email the SoaS list or our release team with any concerns.

You've decided to apply as policy a draft document which describes
itself as not reflecting policy.  Suggestion: remove the draft status,
approve the document, and remove section 2.11 (template text) to the
discussion page.

I've looked through the process.  It is discouraging and complex.  I
suggest that people other than activity developers be encouraged to run
through the process on behalf of discouraged or absent activity
developers.

It isn't clear to me how this process will increase or ensure stability
of the Sugar on a Stick releases.  Which particular meaning of stability
are you using; a lack of change, or a lack of reported defects?
