* Feature Freeze: Tuesday, February 9, 2010


"At Feature Freeze all new features for the release should be substantially complete and in a testable state, including enabled by default if so specified by the feature. In the Fedora development process, all new feature work is completed by Feature Freeze and tested during the test releases: Alpha and Beta."

Taking ownership of an orphan on the devel collection will prevent them from being blocked.  Remember, it is OK to let software die.  Don't view this as a list of things that somebody should pick up if they have the spare time.  Things should only be revived if there are actual users in need of the software.
