The Request for Explanation podcast that explains Rust RFCs

This is an unofficial community-driven project.

Have an RFC you'd like explained?

Please file an issue on this repo with a link to the RFC PR!

We're open to discussing RFCs in many different states, whether they've just been opened, they're about to enter or in their Final Comment Period, or if they've been merged or implemented. We'll probably lean more towards RFCs that are getting team approval and about to enter FCP, so that people can learn about the discussion and revisions that have happened and then go comment once they understand the issues.

Want to discuss an RFC?

We'd love to have guests on! Whether you're an RFC author, someone interested in a particular RFC, or someone who has questions about what an RFC means, you'd make a great guest! Please indicate your interest on an existing issue or file a new issue for the RFC you're interested in and let us know you'd like to be a guest.

Building workflow

• make $DIR for episode

• add $DIR/episode.mp3 (and friends)

• copy src/template.md to $DIR/index.md

• replace all $VARIABLES in index.md with content

• ./build.sh $DIR (must have rustdoc in your path)

• tweak index.md and repeat previous step until happy

• add entry to rss.xml and index.html. Be sure to use the byte size of the mp3 in the enclosure length

• git add .

• git commit -m "episode xxx"

• git push

You can tweak the CSS without regenerating anything, but any edits to src/*.html (which rustdoc injects in certain places) will require a rebuild of every episode. Changing the template will require a manual edit of every episode, followed by a rebuild of every episode.
