We created a new repository for host requests for comment. It is based on the Rust RFC repo and meant to describe how major new features can be implemented. In this way more people can get involved in the discussion, without having to know Rust or getting lost in implementation details. If there is a major new feature you would like to see implemented, please consider writing an RFC first. Also feel free to suggest changes to the RFC process so that it works better for Lemmy.
One RFC was already created a few weeks ago for supporting post tags. It should be added to the repo soon.
This is 👍. For those wondering, RFCs have been around for years in software engineering–since the beginning of the internet, practically.
As a software engineer myself, I can confidently say they’re a great way to build complex software in a more democratic way.
They require a certain level of agreement and consensus, which makes them take a while to ratify. But you almost always end up with better software in the end.
I like my RFCs with a nice hot side of 2324
Ooh that reminds me. Been cranky all morning…
I can’t wait for the first of April Lemmy RFC featuring actual lemmings… 😛
Great news, thank you for this!
