Calculator Specs

The Windows Calculator app is a modern Windows app written in C++ that ships pre-installed with Windows. This repository contains in-progress and archived spec documents for new features in Microsoft/calculator.

Documents in this repo are used for features in development and are not intended to be up-to-date developer or user documentation. For product issues, bugs, and feature requests please go to Microsoft/calculator.

Contributing

We welcome your contributions to the project, and we thank you for your interest in making Calculator better! We follow a user-centered process for developing features.

• DO provide feedback on active pull requests, which represent new features that are being reviewed
• DO provide feedback on spec documents in the active folder, which represent new features that are being worked on
• DO NOT provide feedback on spec documents in the archive folder since those features have already been released
• DO NOT submit pull requests that create new specs for ideas that do not have an associated approved feature pitch tracked in Microsoft/calculator. To propose a new feature, please follow the Calculator contribution process

Workflow

1. Ensure that your pitch has been approved and moved into planning. When features enter this stage, a new working branch in this repo will be created: feature/<feature>

2. Create a new working branch off of that feature branch for your work in progress. Create a new directory for your spec under the active directory: /active/<feature>.

3. Write your spec following the spec template, leveraging relative links when referencing images or other assets in the directory. Rename your file as README.md.

4. Once all feedback has been addressed and your spec has been merged into master, your feature will move into implementation.

5. After your feature is merged into master in the Calculator project, you can submit a pull request to move your spec from active to archive. (We'll do this for you if we don't see the pull request come in after some time.)

Spec review

Once there is a high-fidelity design which addresses the goals described in the original pitch, the Microsoft product team will review the spec and ensure all items on this checklist are addressed:

• Is there a high-fidelity design which gives reviewers a clear idea of how the feature will look and function when implemented?
• Has the plan been shared with the community and have others been given an opportunity to provide suggestions?
• Are Fluent design principles followed? If we do something which deviates from the guidelines, do we have a good reason?
• Does the design include provisions for all users and all cultures?
• Is it technically feasible to build this feature? Take a look at the "before committing" checklist and identify any issues which are likely to be blockers.
