What goes into a review?

The goal of the review process is to improve the proposal under review through constructive criticism and, eventually, determine the direction of SDL. When writing your review, here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:

• Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to SDL?
• Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of SDL?
• If you have used competitors with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
• How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?
  Please state explicitly whether you believe that the proposal should be accepted into SDL.

This is a good test case but i am concerned about maintaining another testing application.

Also wouldn't this ATF mobile application make the current ATF obsolete? I guess the only advantage current ATF would have over this mobile app is the ability to support CI testing.

I would suggest we do some research about leveraging current ATF to support usb or bluetooth instead of making a new application.

I am not sure about faking a AOA connection from a linux device, but I know that it is easy to fake an SDL bluetooth connection.

Ignore the above comment, I misunderstood that the proposed application would be used in conjunction with existing ATF platform. I approve of this proposal.

The Steering Committee fully agreed to accept this proposal.
