/rfcs

Architecture, culture, and process proposals.






RFCs: We use this public repository to discuss and make
technical decisions, inspired by Artsy and GOV.UK.




What's all this?

RFCs, or Request For Comments, are super-nerdy documents traditionally used for discussing computer standards. We use a very streamlined version to discuss architectural & process changes within the engineering team.

Process

Note: We'll evolve this process over time! See 001-rfcs.md for ongoing discussion.

  1. Create a new branch on this repo and copy 000-template.md to 000-my-proposal.md and fill out the template.
  2. Create a pull request. GitHub will automatically post a notification in #announce-tech so others can review it.
  3. Rename your proposal based on the PR's number (e.g. for #1, we'd name the file 001-rfcs.md).
  4. Once we've reached consensus (loosely defined as 2 approvals & no outstanding Q's), merge in your RFC!
