RFC Process

This is the process for getting significant new features into phpBB.

What Is An RFC
RFC, short for Request For Comments, is a document explaining a proposal. Read more about it on Wikipedia.

RFCs serve multiple purposes:


 * They publicly announce proposed changes or new features.
 * They allow all interested parties to review these changes or features, and comment on them.
 * They require submitters to express their ideas in a clear and concise, yet complete, fashion.
 * They allow interested parties to collaborate on implementing proposed ideas.
