A general comment: I know you have been working on this for a while and did several rounds of reviews. It is better to propose the Feature itself for the release as early as possible. As the Acceptance of the Feature itself has nothing to do with the actual code we can decide upfront if the Feature is suitable for the release [1].

The Feature does meet all the criteria listed in [1] and the Feature page does present the Feature well, too.

As to when to propose it for acceptance, it would be after the initial review iterations with the design team and development team. I'll look more closely at the instructions in the wiki. Ok, there are two steps: A: Create the Feature page: You propose it to the community. This can be an early draft. Has not to be targeted at a specific release. Can as well be done by someone that can not even do the coding task. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Policy#Propose_a_feature B: Once you propose it for a inclusion in a release cycle that is when you propose it to the release manager. He does then do the formal check. You send an email to the mailing list and change the category. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Policy#Propose_a_feature_for_addition_into_the_release_cycle The Feature does meet all the criteria listed in [1] and the Feature page does present the Feature well, too.
