We review pitches regularly, and will approve or close issues based on whether they broadly align with the
[Calculator roadmap](https://github.com/Microsoft/calculator/blob/master/docs/Roadmap.md). Approved pitches are moved
into [pre-production](https://github.com/Microsoft/calculator/projects/1) on the feature tracking board.

## Step 2: Pre-production
## Step 2: Planning
For most features, the output of this phase is a specification which describes how the feature will work, supported by
design renderings and code prototypes as needed. The original issue will continue to track the overall progress of the
feature, but we will create and iterate on spec documentation in the
[Calculator Spec repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/calculator-specs). Sometimes we'll learn new things about a feature

experimentation, we encourage developing and sharing rough ideas—maybe even with pencil and
paper—before making designs pixel-perfect or making code robust and maintainable.
After the [spec review](https://github.com/Microsoft/calculator-specs#spec-review) is completed, we will move the issue

## Step 3: Production
## Step 3: Implementation
A feature can be implemented by the original submitter, a Microsoft team member, or by other
community members. Code contributions and testing help are greatly appreciated. Please let everyone know if you're
actively working on a feature to help avoid duplicated efforts from others.
