+ +

What is the scope of this project? +

+ +

For example:

+ +

Develop just enough functionality to scratch a particular itch
Build a tool just like XYZ, but less broken
Build the best XYZ-tool ever!

+ + +

What are high-level features you are sure to build? +

Use the issue tracker to track features and enhancement +requests. It is not just for bugs, pre-populate it with feature +descriptions so that potential contributors know what you would like them +to work on.

+ +

What are the high-level assumptions or ground rules for the project? +

+ +

For example: +

+ +

we will use programming language X on operating system Y for now. + +
We will, or will not, consider certain functional areas like +internationalization, high security, concurrency, etc. The list of +functional areas will depend on what you are trying to do. + +
Try to keep this part short. +
