Feature List

Context

I think it would be good to write out all the features of the application.

Feature in this context means something along the lines of "distinguishing characteristic of a software item (e.g., performance, portability, or functionality)".

Benefits

• Could be used for user feedback.
  • When reviewing a feature, or submitting issue/bug reports, having a specific feature to references would be helpful.
  • User interface elements could also be marked and mapped to specific features, so users would not have to figure it out on their own.
• Enhance progress tracking of development/work.
• Improve the application's marketability

Implementation

• Store in database?
  • Might be necessary if the desired usage is to programmatically match features to UI elements or user feedback.
• Store in documentation?
  • Makes it easier to document the details of the feature
    • This could be solved by having the details stored in the database be in the same format as the documentation (markdown?)
• Definition?
  • What makes something a feature?
  • Should features be grouped or categorized?
