What is a JEP?
JEP stands for Jetpack Enhancement Proposal. A JEP is a design document providing information to the Jetpack community, or describing a new feature for Jetpack or its processes or environment. The JEP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for the feature.
The idea and description of JEPs is borrowed directly from the Python community, often word for word, and their use of PEPs.
We intend JEPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing new features, for collecting community input on an issue, and for documenting the design decisions that have gone into Jetpack. The JEP author is responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions.
Because the PEPs are maintained on the Mozilla Wiki, the revision history is the historical record of the feature proposal.
Accepted JEPs
To become an accepted JEP, ready for implementation, either Atul Varma or Aza Raskin must approve the JEP. At that time, the status will be changed from "Proposed" to "Accepted" and a tracking bug will be created.
Implemented JEPs
After an accepted JEP has been implemented, it's bug is marked finished, and it's status is changed to "Implemented"..
