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 CreateJS core team.
The "RFC" (request for comments) process is intended to provide a consistent and controlled path for new features to enter the framework.
In short, to get a major feature added to CreateJS, one must first get the RFC merged into the RFC repo as a markdown file. At that point the RFC is 'active' and may be implemented with the goal of eventual inclusion into CreateJS.
- Fork the RFC repo http://github.com/recreatejs/rfcs
- Copy the appropriate template. For most RFCs, this is
0000-template.mdCopy the template file totext/0000-my-feature.md, where 'my-feature' is descriptive. Don't assign an RFC number yet. - Fill in the RFC. Put care into the details: RFCs that do not present convincing motivation, demonstrate understanding of the impact of the design, or are disingenuous about the drawbacks or alternatives tend to be poorly-received.
- Fill in the relevant projects.
- Submit a pull request. As a pull request the RFC will receive design feedback from the larger community, and the author should be prepared to revise it in response.
- Update the pull request to add the number of the PR to the filename and add a link to the PR in the header of the RFC.
- Build consensus and integrate feedback. RFCs that have broad support are much more likely to make progress than those that don't receive any comments.
- Eventually, the core team will decide whether the RFC is a candidate for inclusion in CreateJS.
