Dear Apache RocketMQ Community When we want the Apache RocketMQ project we propose an ISSUE with feature request on Github. It's a nice way for a request but not very formal and easy to trace and manage. So I suggest that we should introduce the RIP(RocketMQ Improvement Proposal) mechanism to replace the current Feature Request Process.
So here are some key issues we need to discuss and make a consensus. 1. What is RIP? Why we need RIP? 2. the Process and Status of a RIP 3. How do we cooperate in RIP way to request or offer a feature? 4. Should we provide a RIP template? What is the RIP template? The answers to the above questions are included in my draft, so let's make these document better. The illustration and template of RIP are now available on Google Doc, links are: - RocketMQ Improvement Proposals: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vL2oRu2P4WiR0biHU__PemkrMDObXAa4Xw-I0gljyVg/edit?usp=sharing - RIP Template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19JssoEGnNp1x9MoXVMoeGCWSBnBdyv97FuGcIH1fV1g/edit?usp=sharing Comments, suggestions, and editing are welcome! Since Google Doc service is not accessible in China mainland, the content of these two document would be quoted below: RocketMQ Improvement Proposals -- Best Regards Zongyang
