CubicWeb features
=================

This page  tries to resume features found in the bare cubicweb framework,
how mature and documented they are.

:code maturity (CM):

  - 0: experimental, not ready at all for production, may be killed

  - 1: draft / unsatisfying, api may change in a near future, much probably in long
       term

  - 2: good enough, api sounds good but will probably evolve a bit with more
    hindsight

  - 3: mature, backward incompatible changes unexpected (may still evolve though,
    of course)


:documentation level (DL):

  - 0: no documentation

  - 1: poor documentation

  - 2: some valuable documentation but some parts keep uncovered

  - 3: good / complete documentation
