New Bugs/RFE's Updates (updated as of 3/24/08)

We have created a Beta Branch (SJSAS911_BETA_BRANCH) for the beta release where only pre-approved (Status Whiteboard 911BetaApproved) issues can be fixed in.
Pre-approved issues for FCS (Status Whiteboard 911Approved) can be checked into the main trunk (SJSAS91_FCS_BRANCH)

New Bugs/RFE's Approval Guidelines

These are the general guidelines for new issues that will be approved for v2.1. It is not a guarantee that issues that match the criteria will be approved automatically - we will still be reviewing it on a case by case basis.
Note: As the release gets closer, this list will become smaller.

  1. Security Issues
  2. Issues with no workarounds or with significant costs to work arounds
  3. Issues that will likely be pain points to customers and adoption
  4. Critical issues (as deemed by module owners and the approval owners)
  5. Spec compliance issues
