ift:rfc:waku:updates-of-mature-waku-rfcs-2024q4
Through discussion and curation, support the process of auditing raw, draft, mature selected Waku RFCs.
Description
This commitment supports the audit of the following mature RFCs, which are either in draft or raw states:
- 10/WAKU2

- 13/WAKU2-STORE
- 14/WAKU2-MESSAGE
- 19/WAKU2-LIGHTPUSH

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.
