A Request for Comments (RFC) is a formal document that is the result drafting and subsequent review by interested parties.

Cannabis RFCs

The "RFC" (request for comments) process is intended to provide a consistent platform for collaboration aimed to improve, introduce or request anything (best practices, standardizations, APIs, data models, protocols, enumerations, shared libraries) that can benefit the cannabis information technology industry.

Gathering feedback before submitting

It's often helpful to get feedback on your concept before diving into the level of detail required for an RFC. You may open an issue on this repo to start a high-level discussion, with the goal of eventually formulating an RFC pull request with the specific implementation design.

The process

• Create a topic branch, example et/seed-to-sale-authentication
• Copy 0000-template.md to content/0000-my-feature.md (where 'my-feature' is descriptive. don't assign an RFC number yet).
• Fill in the RFC. Put care into the details: RFCs that do not present convincing motivation, demonstrate understanding of the impact of the design, or are disingenuous about the drawbacks or alternatives tend to be poorly-received.
• Submit a pull request. As a pull request the RFC will receive design feedback from the larger community, and the author should be prepared to revise it in response.
• Build consensus and integrate feedback. RFCs that have broad support are much more likely to make progress than those that don't receive any comments.
