Qiskit RFCs
The purpose of a Qiskit Request for Comments (RFC) is to communicate and engage with the wider community in the development and direction of Qiskit. RFCs enable engineering and research stakeholders to communicate design changes to any component of the larger Qiskit project.
Many changes, including bug fixes and documentation improvements can be implemented and reviewed via the normal GitHub pull request workflow.
Some changes though are "substantial", and we ask that these be put through a bit of a design process and produce a consensus among the Qiskit community and the sub-teams.
This repository is for any project in the Qiskit project to make these design proposals and review and discuss the changes. An RFC can be contained to a single project or it can span multiple projects, if a design decision requires some planning and discussion before implementation an RFC can be used to facilitate that and collect feedback prior to implementation.
