Terminology

  • feature complete means that all of the required Gecko API hooks are complete and being called; the UI needn't be finalized, but it should be there and should be at least functional in limited terms so that alpha testers can explore the corners.
  • feature frozen means that all feature work is complete, and most presentation (moving buttons, changing strings) work is done but revisions will be allowed based on feedback
  • string complete means that all points in the UI that require strings have some content; this content can still be revised based on feedback
  • string frozen means that all strings are final and available for l10n
