Suggestion criteria[edit | edit source]
For a suggestion to be considered for implementation on the FunKey S, it must:
- Not involve the modification of the FunKey S hardware.
- Not involve the infringement of copyrighted and/or trademarked content.
- Be within the realm of reason of the hardware limitations of the FunKey S.
All suggestion tables have a status column to indicate the level of progress made on each suggestion. A blank cell indicates no reported progress, a red cell indicates that the suggestion is not currently feasible, an orange cell indicates that the suggestion has not been implemented for a specific reason, a yellow cell indicates that the suggestion is currently in the process of being implemented, a light green cell indicates that the feature has been implemented by a third-party developer, and a dark green cell indicates that the feature has been integrated by the FunKey Team into FunKey-OS.
Note that a suggestion having a blank status cell does not indicate that it can or will be implemented, only that it has been suggested by a FunKey S user. Suggestions that would require the modification of the FunKey S hardware will be listed in the last section of this article, as while they cannot be added to the FunKey S, they could be implemented in future devices created by the FunKey Team.
