2023-10-18 - RFC Process Improvements

Marc Johnson is next followed by Ingolf Kuss (Jeremy is actually next, but he is unable to attend Wednesday meetings.  He will be next on Monday)

Background:

• After the kafka tenant collection topics RFC we had a retrospective and identified some action items.
• Some of those action items are complete, others are partially done.  
• Retro Board:  https://easyretro.io/publicboard/dY8fCRqguiSDP3wtvSLhNzlULdM2/61b6d545-2d94-4007-93fa-d6263efb49a1
• https://github.com/folio-org/rfcs/pull/11 - Some comments there, and two approvals.  Can we merge, or are adjustments required?
• Copy of RFC Process - restructuring of the process documentation.  Needs to be reviewed and possible/probably updated.
• Jenn Colt also made some adjustments, which may be complete?

Last week:

• Let's review what we have done and what's remaining.  What improvements can we realistically put in place before we start reviewing the next RFC(s)?
• Merge PR with metadata field changes
• In flight PRs will get updated
• Action: Previous PRs will have their outcomes and numbering updated
• Between stages PRs are closed, not merged. They only get merged at the end.
• Action: review readme to make sure merged/closed is documented correctly
• Clarify draft review stage - meant to be exploratory and get small group detailed feedback from domain experts
• We stopped our process review at the draft stage, pick up there next time we discuss

Today:

• Continue reviewing the draft process documentation adjustments.  See Copy of RFC Process
