guidelines on accepting RFEs for DocBook
[I was asked to wordsmith
guidelines on this topic for this meeting]
=====================================================
The DocBook Technical Committee, as part
of its commitment to maintaining DocBook, responds to Requests for Enhancement
(RFEs) submitted by the DocBook user community. The likelihood that a
submitted RFE will be implemented is determined by the degree to which it
meets the following criteria:
a. The change is within the scope of the TC's
charter.
b. The change is consistent with the existing
DocBook model.
c. The change is beneficial to the
community of users.
The implication of criterion (c) is that if only one user or company
needs a particular change, the TC is likely to recommend a local customization
to acheive the desired result.
