Fedora 13 Alpha Release Criteria

Additional Notes, Thoughts, and Questions

It would be valuable to work in some bullets that address meeting the needs of the target audience for this release
- What are the needs of the target audience for the Alpha release?
What are the distinguishing features of the Alpha Release?
- How is it different from Beta and Final? It would be helpful to call this out at a high level even if the distinguishing differences are in the required test cases.
What problem is the Alpha trying to solve?
How will decide if the Alpha Release is a success?
How good does the Alpha need to be?
Do we put the Fedora distribution or project at risk if we don't meet this criterion?
Do we negatively affect users or others if we don't meet this criterion?
What is unique about Alpha blocker bugs and how can we capture that above (or tighten down in Beta and Final release sections)?
Make sure all MUST and SHOULD items from [QA/ReleaseCriteria] are integrated into the test plans referenced in the requirements
Bruno: For "The installed system boots and starts up properly" does that mean on a single machine? It seems to be often the case that their are hardware specific bugs that prevent booting on some particular hardware.
Kparal : "# Execute all Fedora 13 test cases " - Fedora 13 Alpha test cases? Because in Beta and Final release criteria there is word "Beta" and "Final". Do we even have test cases different in different stages?
