What is a JEP?
JEP stands for Jetpack Enhancement Proposal. A JEP is a design document for enhancements to the Jetpack development platform. The JEP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature, including dependencies, use-cases, possible implementations hurdles, and updates on status.
We intend JEPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing, cataloging, and technically assessing features. The JEP author is the responsible party for building consensus within the community and transcribing feedback into actionable documentation.
The JEP process begins with a new idea for Jetpack. It is highly recommended that a JEP contain a single key proposal or new idea. The more focused the JEP the better.
Each JEP must have a champion -- often the author -- who writes the JEP, leads discussion, and attempts to build community consensus about the idea. Posting to mozilla-labs-jetpack@googlegroups.com is recommended.
Here's a JEP template you can use to start.
