========================================================================
= Request for Discussions =
========================================================================
Request for Discussions is a series of documents related to Free
Software and free society.
The current RFD Editor is Andrew.
The status of all RFDs may be viewed at /STATUS.tsv, a tab-seperated
file containing the ID, name, the RFDs that it updates and obsoletes,
the RFDs that updates and obsoletes itself, and status of RFDs.
The status may be one of Experimental, Informational, Obsolete,
Historic, Best Current Practice, or Draft. It also notes if an RFD
has erratas.
The current autoindex system provided by the Nginx Web server is very
limiting. Along with other utilities, a new system for building and
publishing RFDs will be written.
All documents first go through the DRAFT stage. During this stage,
a directory is created for the document with the "draft-" prefix. The
author establishes a group of people who discuss and revise the
document if required, and submits it to the RFD Editor and the Libre
Informational Board for review. Suggestions and revisions are made.
Once a draft becomes a RFD by a supermajority (0.6) in the board, the
RFD editor assigns a RFD number, gives final touches to the style, and
the draft becomes an RFD.
As of now, the Libre Informational Board only has Andrew. We
desperately need more like-minded people for a more unbiased process.
Please talk to us via the discussion channels (below)!
RFDs are immutable. Minor problems must be corrected through publishing
an ERRATA file and indicating ERRATA EXISTS in the RFD. Large changes
require new updating or obsoleting RFDs. Such modifications should be
made on the generated files, not by regenerating from a modified markup
source.
An informational RFDs describing the document series is upcoming.
Currently, IETF RFC tools are used for typesetting. An experimental
tool is being developed in utilities/, which takes RFD Markup
(documentation pending) input and outputs plain text RFDs.
RFDs are available in plain text. Drafts additionally have Markdown
source. As all RFDs were drafts, the Git history contains the sources
thereof, located at <git://git.andrewyu.org/rfd.andrewyu.org.git>.
RFDs stand for Request for Discussions. Community discussions are very
welcome. You may submit your ideas to us via the rfd AT andrewyu DOT
org mailing list. Further discussions with a wider audience, such as in
various IRC channels and mailing lists, are encouraged.
The #LibreSpeech IRC channel on irc.andrewyu.org and libera.chat may
be used for this purpose.
