Pointing Features for Kiwi Release

For more information, see the Planning Process Proposal

Instructions for Institutions

  1. Download a copy of the Feature Pointing Worksheet spreadsheet. 
  2. Use this spreadsheet within your institution to determine how your institution's points will be spent.  As mentioned previously, the best approach is to think about your institution's "pain points" and find the related features in the spreadsheet.  If a feature important to your institution in not included in the spreadsheet, add it as a row on the bottom of your institution's spreadsheet.
  3. If you have questions for Holly, please ask them on the folio-implementers Slack channel rather than directly to Holly.  This allows others to learn from the exchange.
  4. Make sure that the points applied in Column D of your institution's spreadsheet do not exceed 100 (see "Total Points used:" in Cell A1).  Also, you may not apply more than 20 points to any one feature.
  5. Have the designated pointer for your institution update the actual Feature Pointing Ballot by April 30 (at 5:00 PM US EST).
