Rfcs
This repository is a technical proposal collection and open source governance workflow used to manage the lifecycle of feature requests. It functions as a collaborative API design framework where major architectural changes are proposed and tracked from initial draft to final acceptance.
The project utilizes a Git-based governance workflow to gather community consensus. It leverages version control, pull requests, and Markdown documents to facilitate asynchronous technical reviews and distributed contributor agreement.
The system covers the coordination of technical consensus and the management of feature lifecycles. This includes soliciting community feedback to identify design flaws and evaluating alternatives for new software interfaces before implementation.
