My biggest worry is that it might be a bit controversial to some of the developers, and might lead to edit wars, though I think that that risk is small.

- discuss base package inclusion candidates and how to come up with a set of conventions/requirements in order to determine what a/c to include
Alternative: Feature-based status tracking
Use the discussed technique to track aircraft development status based on the availability of certain features, i.e. import various PropertyList XML files from top-level "status.xml", detailing status information-like:
- status/fdm.xml
- status/3dModel.xml
- status/panel.xml
- status/systems.xml
In each corresponding XML file, keep track of implemented features:
status/3dModel.xml:
<PropertyList> <details bugs="mod-bugs.txt" fixme="mod-fixme.txt" todo="mod-todo.txt"/> <landing-gear> <is-implemented type="bool" value="true"/> <is-animated type="bool" value="true/> </landing-gear> </PropertyList>
status/systems.xml:
<PropertyList> <electrical> <autoflight> <is-implemented type="bool" value="true"/> </autoflight> </electrical> </PropertyList>
Adding a template for the aircraft status
I've seen the aircraft status added to some aircraft pages as sections and subsections (e.g. the A310).
I understand that this is to keep track of the development of that particular aircraft, but I wonder if the status could be put on each and every aircraft page as a template or as part of the airplane info-box.
My biggest worry is that it might be a bit controversial to some of the developers, and might lead to edit wars, though I think that that risk is small. Johan G 06:39, 3 July 2011 (EDT)
