What is RFE ?

rgleason commented 2 years ago

That is Alec short term for Feature, "Request Feature Enhancement" RFE I am told it is commonly used.
See OpenCPN Issues https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/issues

Okay, I knew the RFC one but not the RFE one.

Sure this is useful, especially when you're in a zone you don't know.

rgleason commented 2 years ago

Shoe on other foot now. What is RFC? Request for Change?

ozolli commented 2 years ago

Request For Comments. About 25 years ago I was deeply involved in mail and news servers programming and RFC were (and still are) the de facto rules in the internet world.

Marine Text Forecasts. https://www.weather.gov/marine/forecast

These could be very useful and quick to receive and decode.
