Proposal creation guidelines
There have been a large number of proposals created, that are seriously lacking in detail. This page details a 'suggested' process to go through before creating a proposal; it is by no means exhaustive, or meant to be blindly followed without consideration.
Proposal Status Process
Draft
- Use the Template to create your proposal. Set the status to "Draft".
- Place your proposal in the correct category.
- Create the proposal Page. Creating a proposal
- Once the feature is fully described on its page, move on to "Proposed" Status.
Proposed
- Send out an RFC (Request For Comments) to talk@openstreetmap.org mailing list[1].
- Subject Line: "[tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (Feature Name)"
- Set the status to "Proposed" and set the rfcStartDate=* value. (YYYY-MM-DD)
- Spend time with others discussing and modifying the proposal.
- Please discuss each proposed feature on its own discussion page.
Voting
- At least two weeks after discussing, and once problems brought up in discussion have been resolved by modifying the proposal, send out a (Request for Voting) to talk@openstreetmap.org mailing list[2].
- Subject Line: "[tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - (Feature Name)"
- Set the status to "Voting", and set the voteStartDate=* value. (YYYY-MM-DD)
- Set the voteEndDate=* for two weeks from the opening date. (YYYY-MM-DD)
- At this point there must be only one proposal on the page, so it's clear what is being voted on, and the proposal should be formalized to the standard set by Key:highway
Approved
- At the end of the voting period, if there are 6 unanimous approval votes or at least 15 total votes with a majority approval, the status can be set to "Approved" and the feature may be promoted to Post-vote clean-up.
PS. If there are otherwise less than 15 votes, add two weeks to the voteEndDate=*, and send out a new vote request to the mailing list.
Rejected
- If the vote fails, the proposal will be moved to the Rejected features page. From there it may be resubmitted, modified, and moved back to the RFC process.
Any proposals that have a 3 month inactive history should be move to the Abandoned feature suggestions list or moved to a vote if ready.
