The current process says you *can* start now, but the Feature Submission Deadline isn't until two weeks before Feature Freeze, which is in turn right before the Alpha. One *can* start developing features at any time, but there's nothing in the process that says one *should* do it earlier, and in fact, the late deadlines imply a defacto standard last-minute approach. This isn't helped by the description of the Feature Submission Deadline as not being really a deadline at all: "FESCo will consider features proposed after this deadline on an exception basis." -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx> Senior Systems Architect -- Instructional & Research Computing Services Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
