+# Nix RFCs
+
+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 Nix community.
+
+The "RFC" (request for comments) process is intended to provide a consistent
+and controlled path for new features to enter the language and standard
+libraries, so that all stakeholders can be confident about the direction the
+ecosystem is evolving in.
+
+## TODO
+
+The first RFC will define the process around RFCs.
