Hi All, In many cases OSS maintainers not always can be in the loop of different threads what may cause them missing important decisions being taken, As result later on during reviews of the patches they're not accepting (already implemented) features, what is causing not once for feature to be re-designed and/or delayed, what is wrong from the development cycle PoV. Therefore I'd like to suggest establishing dev-rules for the new feature implementation, what will make entire process much more easer for all of us: 1. discuss new feature on the mailing list (requirements/constraints/etc.) 2. summarise feature details in feature-doc 3. send feature-doc to review to: 3.1 ML (engine-devel) 3.2 MG (mailing group of maintainers of the relevant layers) 4. after feature-doc is accepted, 4.1 implement the feature 4.2 send it to gerrit for review to: 4.2.1 lead maintainer/s (they will review/delegate it) NOTE 3.2, 4.2.1 will require defining MGs such as: - engine-devel-core - engine-devel-ui - engine-devel-api - engine-devel-sdk - engine-devel-cli - engine-devel-vdsm ...
