Features/Policy/Acceptance

Definition
Acceptance by FESCo is a sanity check, presumed in most cases to be a formality, to ensure that new features compliment Fedora's guidelines and is manageable, prior to publicizing as officially targeted for the next release.

Feature acceptance is agreement by FESCo that a particular feature is:
 * 1) consistent with the goals and policies of Fedora while within the laws governing the corporate entity sponsoring Fedora--Red Hat.
 * 2) supported by the Fedora leadership.
 * 3) suitable for listing as an Official Feature of the next release of Fedora
 * 4) important to track prior to feature freeze and could affect timeliness of release

Process

 * 1) The Feature Owner adds the feature page to Category:FeatureReadyForWrangler by adding the following text to the bottom of their feature page: Category:FeatureReadyForWrangler--it is already in the feature template.
 * 2) The Feature Wrangler reviews page for completeness and marks it as ready for review at FESCo's next meeting by changing it to Category:FeatureReadyForFesco
 * 3) FESCo secretary sends out FESCo weekly meeting reminder to fedora-devel-list with a CC to the feature owner so they can attend to represent their feature and answer any questions
 * 4) FESCo reviews individual feature pages and votes to approve or deny the feature.
 * 5) More than 50% of voting FESCo members must be in agreement to approve or deny.
 * 6) The feature owner or proxy should be in attendance at this FESCo meeting to answer questions or provide clarification.
 * 7) After a FESCo vote the Feature Wrangler:
 * 8) Adds accepted features to the accepted category Category:FeatureAcceptedFX
 * 9) Moves un-accepted features to Category:FeaturePageIncomplete
 * 10) Updates the overall feature summary for the release at Releases/X/FeatureList
