OpenFATE

From openSUSE

Introduction

The openFATE is the openSUSE community interface to the Feature- and Requirements Management System of openSUSE and Novell's Linux Business. It opens the process of product planing and helps to:

• get a sorted overview of features in upcoming products
• follow and participate in the discussion by adding comments
• work on the features for the next product generation (version) and help to make openSUSE an even better Linux distribution

The feature database is public, everyone can browse all openSUSE features without the need to log in. An openSUSE account is only needed to comment, change or vote for features.

Documentation

Please read the Documentation and FAQ pages to get an overview.
