OriginTrail Requests For Comments (RFCs) present system development and improvement proposals describing the network operation, protocol specifications, related APIs and relevant ecosystem components. It is a public, open for contribution repository for the OriginTrail community.
The RFCs have formerly been part of the official documentation on the OriginTrail documentation page and have moved to this repository from OT-RFC-07 on October 12th 2020 to the RFCs folder in this repository.
There are three stages for an RFC, easily visible in the RFC Repository Kanban.
DRAFT stage: the RFC is associated DRAFT status in the period of writing and collaborating on the RFC. Once the discussions are completed the RFC moves to Accepted stage
ACCEPTED stage: The accepted RFCs are to be implemented by the OriginTrail developers, serving as technical specification
FINAL stage: Once RFCs have been implemented and merged into the codebase, they are considered FINAL
Contributors are encouraged to discuss in RFC specific issues (usually opened by the RFC author - see under issues).
Detailed contribution guidelines are TBA.
