About RFCs

An RFC is a request for comment. The CatColab team uses RFCs as a way to communicate with each other and the community about features we intend to build and the mathematics those features are based on.

A distinctive feature of RFCs compared to other kinds of documentation is that they represent a design at a particular point in time, as envisioned by a particular person. Thus, an RFC should have a date and an author, and there is no expectation that an RFC will be updated over time as its implementation inevitably evolves.

The format of an CatColab RFC is not yet standardized. In organizing the RFCs written so far, we’ve been inspired by the RFC template used by the Rust language.
