1) Reference of discussion in RFCs
When I try to look into the discussions of older RFCs to find out why
they ended up the way they did, it’s not easy. You hardly can find
them. This is because they are often not referenced in the RFC itself.
Going forward, would it make sense to make it mandatory to reference
'[Discussion]' and '[Vote]' in the RFC text itself?
I'll make the requested adjustments and then follow up here on the list.
2) Make revisions public
I don’t quite understand why RFC revisions are not public. I believe it
would be very helpful to see the diffs of the RFCs. Because then
everyone can see how and why a RFC evolved. Revisions could be listed
at the bottom; on click you see the diff. Perhaps it makes sense to
only apply this change to RFCs that would be proposed after this change
potentially will be accepted.
They were previously public and were restricted to logged-in users with
https://github.com/php/web-wiki/commit/0e5a3029f95610ddb230a8bd3901875b9c4b82ee.
My understanding is that this was done to fend off various scrapers, but
I was not involved in that decision. I agree that having the diff
publicly available would be useful.
