Explicit feature model - Githubissues

rlaemmel commented 7 years ago

Let's get started with adding the feature model proper to the repo.

Initially, let's go with this expressiveness only:

[
  {
     “feature” : “Parsing”,
     “abstract” : true;
     “super” : “Textual syntax”
  },
  …
]

Just this expressiveness will be sufficient to enable some basic checking and rendering as follows:

Check that all feature names in documentation are actually known.
Check that "meta" perspective never implements "abstract" features.
Show abstract features in sort of "dimmed" manner in the tables.
Infer abstract features from declared concrete features so that they are shown in tables.

There are indeed feature names in use that don't exist anymore. See for example "Creole" ... on the landing page.

See also #12 which adds more (possibly less urgent) well-formedness ideas.
