As some of you might be aware, the requests for comments are a series of documents that help to define how the internet works. I was thinking that we should establish rfc in computercraft. Post your ideas here.
RFC 1:
File MetadataEdit 9/15/2015
RFC 2:
Terminal RedirectionRFC 3:
File metadata for Graphical ShellsEdit 10/5/2015
RFC 4:

About the metadata formats, last time I checked the only person to actually be using that is Lyqyd, in his LyqydOS. So if anyone's going to need to use a file metadata system then use
this one, as it's already being in use.

The requests for comments don't describe file metadata, they describe how the internet works, as stated above.
Off-Topic: I didn't know file metadata standards existed for computercraft, thanks
Edit: Sorry, I was talking about requests for comments specific to the internet (how it works in the real world).

I don't think RFC is a defined term. It may apply not only to the internet but basicaly anything. It's literaly meaning would be a request for other people's comments and opinions about a certain idea.
Also, what exactly do you want to propose here? What kind of internet?

That gives me "Rugby Football Club", so no help there :P/>. RFCs are not exclusive to the IETF.
PHP use them. The idea of asking people for feedback isn't that new :)/>.
On a more practical note, standardising things doesn't work on the CC forums. It is a bit like herding cats - we're here to learn and experiment and so like to do things out own way.

RFCs are not limited to just one subject. They are, quite literally, a request for comments.

Sorry, meant
this.
Edit:

PHP use them.
Oh, I thought they where just for the internet.
Anyway, post any suggestions (related to the internet or not) that you have.
