# Requests for Comments
|
|
|
|
A Request for Comments (RFC) is a record of discussion on an open-ended topic
|
|
related to the design and implementation of Tendermint Core, for which no
|
|
immediate decision is required.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of an RFC is to serve as a historical record of a high-level
|
|
discussion that might otherwise only be recorded in an ad hoc way (for example,
|
|
via gists or Google docs) that are difficult to discover for someone after the
|
|
fact. An RFC _may_ give rise to more specific architectural _decisions_ for
|
|
Tendermint, but those decisions must be recorded separately in [Architecture
|
|
Decision Records (ADR)](./../architecture).
|
|
|
|
As a rule of thumb, if you can articulate a specific question that needs to be
|
|
answered, write an ADR. If you need to explore the topic and get input from
|
|
others to know what questions need to be answered, an RFC may be appropriate.
|
|
|
|
## RFC Content
|
|
|
|
An RFC should provide:
|
|
|
|
- A **changelog**, documenting when and how the RFC has changed.
|
|
- An **abstract**, briefly summarizing the topic so the reader can quickly tell
|
|
whether it is relevant to their interest.
|
|
- Any **background** a reader will need to understand and participate in the
|
|
substance of the discussion (links to other documents are fine here).
|
|
- The **discussion**, the primary content of the document.
|
|
|
|
The [rfc-template.md](./rfc-template.md) file includes placeholders for these
|
|
sections.
