vac:rfc:waku:2025q2-rfc-iteration
Iteration commitments generally comprise: through discussion and curation, support the process of auditing raw, draft, mature selected Waku RFCs.
Description
This commitment supports the audit of mature RFCs, which are either in draft or raw states. The audit comprises of:
- Reading through the spec;
- Checking the relevant codebase;
- Changing the parts of the spec (descriptions and codebase) where applicable;
- Updates of relevant links;
- Changing the RFC status (optional);
- Going through rounds of feedback with the relevant project team;
- Adding clarifications where needed in the spec;
- Checking for inconsistencies with other documentation/codebase.
The following RFCs will be worked on in this quarter:
We will also include specification validation - editorial work through previous and future RFCs to improve them (identify edge cases for example)
Alignment with VAC Narratives:
- The VAC RFC team plans to become a repository for RFCs regarding all IFT projects.
- By promoting the RFC culture, we hope to incentivize projects to submit their RFCs to the rfc-editors team.
- We aim to have the broader web3 community use our RFCs in their projects, similar to IETF.
- We aim to provide feedback on specifications from the point of view of a new developer.
