Revision as of 13:42, 22 March 2018

This is the standard FSDG-compliance checklist template for Software Distributions (distros) seeking FSF endorsement. It should instantiated at the beginning of the community evaluation phase for each prospective distro by the community-appointed review manager for that distro.

To use this template:

  • Create a new page with the name of the candidate distro.
  • Add the framed text below as the body of the new page.
  • Each line beginning with a pipe '|' symbol corresponds to one of the checklist criteria.
  • The 'TODO' place-holder following the equals symbol '=' on each such line may be replaced with arbitrary notes.
  • There must be some text following the equals symbol '=' on each such line until that criteria passes.
  • Any text following an equals symbol '=' on any such line indicates a pending state for that criteria (☐ will be shown).
  • As each criteria passes review, delete the entire corresponding line (☑ will be shown).
  • Each criteria in the rendered checklist table will be a hyper-link to the relevant section of the FSDG.
  • The 'TODO' place-holder or the replacement notes will be shown beneath each criteria in the rendered checklist table.
{{FSDG_Checklist

}}

The rendered distro checklist page will resemble the table below with boxes beside each pending criteria and check-marks beside each passing criteria.
