The test262 feature flag links to a code search of tests using that feature flag, which may constitute complete or partial coverage. The ❓ means there is no feature flag for tests yet.
See Contributing to ECMAScript and How We Work for the most up-to-date information on contributing to proposals to TC39 standards and how proposals advance.
Proposals that are Stage 1 and above must be transferred to the TC39 GitHub organization for discoverability and archival purposes. To onboard a proposal:
- Transfer your repository to the @tc39-transfer organization
- if you are a TC39 delegate, but not a member of that organization, please contact @LJHarb
- The Github Administrator, or one of the chairs, will transfer your repository to the TC39 organization the next chance they get.
Note that as part of the onboarding process your repository name may be normalized. Don't worry, repo redirects will continue to work as long as you never create a fork, or a new repository, with the same name - although Github Pages redirects will be broken (please update your links!).
