<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Neutrinos,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the things, that is required to have ease of use, is good documentation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Similar to what's done for Nova [4], I've decided to prepare Feature Classification for Neutron.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Work was already approved, and it got greenlit [1], but we still lack of final approval. In the light of N-3 [5] approaching, it would be nice to have it merged sooner than later.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What's Feature Matrix Classification?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The feature classification matrix will provide information about backend plugins and the features they support.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It acts as a launching point for users to read about the intent of the matrix before reviewing the matrix to find features and plugins that meet their needs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This document will allow deployers and operators to figure out which backend plugins will fit their specific use case.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Framework for documentation is ready [2] and can be merged. It will allow to render final version of Feature Matrix.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Feature Matrix is also prepared to be merged [3]. It's rough, initial version after several iterations. There are still missing pieces of information, but even though, it's better to have something, where we can start, than nothing.<o:p></o:p></p>
