Legal issues with future planned features
Issue Description
Several tech writers on the team have come from enterprise software companies where preannouncing features in the documentation was a non-starter for legal reasons. We need to consider carefully how we reference future features in the documentation at GotLab. These items are planned features or capabilities that are not released yet, but a team wants them to be included in the documentation. We have existing guidance for this type of content that will be changed as a result of this issue.
After a discussion with Legal, we determined that we need to come up with an alert box or other way of including this disclaimer content:
This page contains information related to upcoming products, features, and functionality.
It is important to note that the information presented is for informational purposes only.
Please do not rely on this information for purchasing or planning purposes.
As with all projects, the items mentioned on this page are subject to change or delay.
The development, release, and timing of any products, features, or functionality remain at the
sole discretion of GitLab Inc.
Need to update style guide with guidance. Right now we tell them to re-phrase. If we can't re-phrase, let's add this blurb to the page.
