RFCs for changes to Crossbeam

Crossbeam RFCs

This is the repository where proposals for substantial changes to Crossbeam are discussed. Such proposals take the form of a written document (an RFC) and end up with consensus among the following Crossbeam team members:

• @arthurprs
• @jeehoonkang
• @schets
• @stjepang
• @Vtec234

For real-time collaboration we hang out in the IRC channel (#crossbeam at irc.mozilla.org).

Contribution

Everyone is welcome to submit RFCs and participate in existing ones.

To submit a new RFC:

1. Copy template.md into text/YYYY-MM-DD-your-proposal-name.md.
2. Write the document and fill in the blanks.
3. Submit a pull request.

The life-cycle of an RFC

1. A proposal is submitted as a PR.
2. Discussion takes place, and the text is revised in response.
3. The PR is merged or closed when all of the members reach consensus.

What needs an RFC?

• Very large sets of changes.
• Discussions that are too difficult to track without an elaborate and evolving document.
• Hard decisions that need careful analysis and consensus in order to unblock other things.

What doesn't need an RFC?

• Bug fixes.
• Documentation changes.
• Simple and uncontroversial changes.
• Experimental, fast-moving Crossbeam subprojects.
