About this page

The intention of this page is to organize a vote, similar to wiki:R1/Alpha1Proposals. This vote is about requirements for R1 (Final). Voting 'must-have' for something means that you want R1 (Final) to be delayed until that and all other 'must-have' items are addressed.

Once the feature set is voted upon, a preliminary milestone for entering the beta cycles will be created. That preliminary milestone will include only the necessary features. Non-feature issues (such as bugs) will be reviewed as the beta milestone nears completion.

General Interest Poll

In addition to this page, a general interest poll (which is open to all) is available at the ​Haiku Website. The content is identical, and is an opportunity for each individual to effectively express their thoughts on this topic. As mentioned on that page, those results will be listed here after Sunday December 12th.

Definitions

must-have

This item will block the release of R1 (Final). Depending on what it is, it may also block entering the beta stage.

only-if-ready

This item will not block the release of R1 (Final) or any earlier releases. These items may be evaluated for inclusion in a particular release.

bundled application

This includes applications within the project's repository and the graphical applications included as OptionalPackages. Command line applications are not included in this definition.

This poll will remain open until Sunday December 12, 2010 (approximately 19:00 UTC)

Afterwards, the results of the #GeneralInterestPoll will be merged (and listed as such) on this page. A courtesy email will go out to the ​haiku-development mailing list
