Subject: Higher bar for accepting issues for OData v4.0

 

At the Zurich OData F2F meeting, we broadly classified the issues (on OData Work Products) under four categories:

Class A: Purely editorial corrections

Class B: Something is broken: Major/minor technical flaws or interoperability problems

Class C: Nothing is broken but need this for a “real good” reason: Major/minor technical changes

Class D: Nothing is broken but nice to have: Major/minor technical improvements

 

The TC agreed that for OData v4.0 core Work Products, we will raise the bar for accepting issues; specifically, we agreed that, starting Feb 7th, 2013, for issues on core Work Products, the TC will only accept
 class A, class B, and class C issues for processing during OData v4.0. Class D issues will be deferred to a future revision (such as or v4.1 or v5.0).

 

Reminder – if you have class D issues that you like to see addressed in OData v4.0 core Work Products, please file them *before* Feb 7th,  2013, so we can review and accept them during the TC meeting on
 Feb 7th. Also, before or during the Feb 7th TC meeting, please indicate which of the class D issues on core Work Products you like to see accepted for processing during OData v4.0. Any class D issues on the OData core Work Products that
 arrive later than or not accepted for processing during the TC meeting on Feb 7th will be deferred to a future revision (such as or v4.1 or v5.0).
