To start in creation the feature branch I have done the following: 1. I have created a new confluence area to track feature branches : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Feature+Branches 2. I have created a new set of confluence pages for this feature branch: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Metron+Extension+System+and+Parser+Extensions# 3. I have created a jira for this feature branch : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1136
The idea is that we want to document the feature branch effort and concept ( wiki ) and track the work in jira. There is redundancy and gaps between the wiki and the PR’s, but that is unavoidable for an effort that has been going on so long. I plan on adding more to the wiki, but also would encourage others that have been involved in the review to do so as well ( or anyone interested etc ). Also any comments on this approach for Feature Branches are welcome. As Nick said, we are not necessarily creating a process for all future branches. I think this is enough structure to start the branch off at least.
