Draft of new /Labs/Jetpack/JEPs page:

Introduction

JEP stands for Jetpack Enhancement Proposal. A JEP is a proposal for an enhancement to the Jetpack add-ons development platform. JEPs are a mechanism for collecting ideas and influencing Jetpack development.

Each JEP has a champion who is responsible for writing the proposal and driving the discussion of its merits. Any Jetpack project participant can be a champion. JEPs are numbered by increasing consecutive integers, listed on this page, and discussed in the Jetpack discussion forum.

JEPs are not the only mechanism for influencing Jetpack development and should be reserved for significant architectural issues and APIs that should be in the core Jetpack library. Other options include:

  • propose and discuss enhancements informally in the Jetpack discussion forum;
  • file bug reports about bugs;
  • go ahead and implement APIs that don't need to be in the core Jetpack library (or for which it's not clear whether or not they belong in the core), then distribute them to add-on developers via your own website (or, once available, via FlightDeck).

Process

To champion a JEP, assign it the next available integer and create a wiki page for it. Name the page after its number, and put it in the /Labs/Jetpack/JEP/ namespace. Refer to existing JEPs for guidance on formatting. Reference the page in the list below. Assign it the initial status "proposed". Announce it and solicit feedback in the Jetpack discussion forum. Revise it as appropriate in response to feedback.

After discussion of the proposal, if it is approved by Jetpack leads, mark it "approved". Otherwise, mark it "declined". Reference bugs tracking the implementation status of an approved proposal in the JEP. Once an approved proposal has been implemented, mark it "implemented".

Archive

These JEPs were written during the experimental phase of the project, when we were developing the prototype. Now that we are no longer working on the prototype, these JEPs are no longer applicable. They are archived here for reference purposes.
