 The current development process of Django is slow. This is in part due to our commitment to backwards compatibility.
 This means it is hard to test a new feature API directly in django/django because if we get it wrong we can't easily change it.
-An experimental feature flag would help us overcome this, possibly making Django development faster
+We would like to define what it would mean to add features considered experimental to django/django that would possibly make
+development of Django faster.
+
+An outcome of this would be updated processes and documentation around feature development process, followed by any code to support enabling experimental support for new features and for extending existing features. It will start by refreshing DEP 2: https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/draft/0002-experimental-apis.rst
+
+There are multiple extension points to this project:
+
+* Extending to refreshing the re-usable apps tutorial and possibly providing a django app template repository.
+* Picking a suitable proposed feature to test the new process and code
+* Extending this feature to provide a public feature flag API inside django/django
