Who's working on this?

* '''Lead Developer''':
* '''Product Manager''':
* '''QA''':
* '''UX''':
* '''Security''':
* '''Privacy''':
* Etc.
 
Team list should make it clear who to ask about what, and who to ping when they're needed.  If you do not need someone in a particular role (ie: Security), that's fine, just delete that line.  Contact info for each person would also be handy.

Either the next set of tasks that need to happen to move this project along, or (ideally) the full list of project tasks/action items with things crossed off as they're finished.  Including the name of who's responsible for each item, and a rough ETA can be useful.
 
Open issues include unanswered questions, things that need to be explored, decisions that still need to be made, etc.  Again, including the name of who's responsible for each item can be useful.

Any and all mockups, design specs, tech specs, etc.  Either inline or linked to.
 
== Test Plans ==
Any and all test plans and strategies.  Either inline or linked to.

The high level goals for the feature (which the release requirements checklist should fulfill).  These are the guiding light and overall vision for the featureRefer to this if there is confusion or are disputes about direction, designs, planning, etc.
 
== Non-Goals ==
Things we are specifically not doing or building as part of this feature.
 
== Other Stuff ==
Can include things like:

The old format for the feature pages is now deprecated and should no longer be used at all!

We have a much better and lovelier system for creating, editing, and organizing feature pages now, and it all begins here: Create new feature page.

If you have any questions, contact Deb. Thanks!
