RFC-0000: Purpose

Status: Proposed Phase: The Bedrock Phase

Abstract

This RFC establishes the foundational purpose of the Open Engineer standard and the process by which all subsequent RFCs shall be written and evaluated.

Motivation

Before any individual RFC is accepted, the project must agree on what an RFC is for and what it must accomplish. This RFC answers that question at the highest level.

Proposal

The purpose of an RFC in the Open Engineer project is to propose, justify, and specify a change to the standard. Every RFC must demonstrate:

  1. Observation — What was observed that prompted this proposal?
  2. Engineering Principle — What principle does this proposal establish or extend?
  3. Reasoning — Why is this principle valid and necessary?
  4. Relationship to Existing Concepts — How does this connect to or extend the existing body of the standard?

Scope

This RFC defines the meta-framework for all subsequent RFCs. It is the root of the RFC tree.
