------------------------------------
Note also that this is not the way we write issues: An issue should be a task
that can be solved by an individual, usually via a code commit or an action
within our infrastructure.
> Fineract Improvement Proposals
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: FINCN-352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINCN-352
> Project: Fineract Cloud Native
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Saransh Sharma
> Priority: Major
>
> Purpose
> The purpose of a Fineract CN Improvement Proposal (FIP) is to introduce any
> major change into Fineract CN. This is required in order to balance the need
> to support new features, uses cases , automation . Given the nature of the
> project that is micro services and its functional implications. To be able to
> bring changes in core libs and changes in the core services.
> What is considered as major change?
> Any of the following should be considered a major change:
> * Any major new feature, subsystem, or piece of functionality
> * Any change that removes the core lib
> * Design patterns changes that may take away the way project interact with
> respect to the services and db
> * Removal of services and core libs
> * Adding a new type and frameworks
> * Adding external service like automation and boilerplates
> * Architectural changes overhaul like moving service or merging service in
> single piece
> What should be included in the FIP
> * Motivation: describe the problem to be solved.
> * Proposed Change: describe the new thing you want to do. This may be fairly
> extensive and have large subsections of its own. Or it may be a few
> sentences, depending on the scope of the change.
> * New or Changed Public Interfaces: impact to any of the "compatibility
> commitments" described above. We want to call these out in particular so
> everyone thinks about them.
> * New dependencies: describe any third-party libraries that the feature will
> require, from PyPI or NPM. In particular, make sure their license is
> compatible with the [Apache License v2.0]
> ([https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0]).
> * Migration Plan and Compatibility: if this feature requires additional
> support for seamless upgrades describe how that will work. In particular,
> it’s important to mention if:
> ** The feature requires a change in some way to core libs
> ** Some API level change
> ** Removing some lib or its generation
> ** The feature will coexist with similar functionality for some period of
> time, allowing for a deprecation period.
> * Rejected Alternatives: What are the other alternatives you considered and
> why are they worse? The goal of this section is to help people understand why
> this is the best solution now, and also to prevent churn in the future when
> old alternatives are reconsidered.
> Who should initiate FIP
> Anyone can initiate a FIP, but preferably someone with the intention of
> implementing it.
> Process
> # [Create an issue|https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues] with
> the prefix “[FIP]” in the title. The issue will be tagged as “fip” by a
> committer, and the title will be updated with the current SIP number.
> # Notify the {{dev@}} mailing list that the FIP has been created, use the
> subject line {{[DISCUSS] FIP-0 Fineract Improvement Proposals}}, the body of
> the email should look something like {{Please discuss & subscribe here:
> https://github.com/apache/fineract-CN-repo/issues/5602}}
> # When writing the issue, fill in the sections as described above in “What
> should be included in a FIP?”.
> # A committer will initiate the discussion, and ensure that there’s enough
> time to analyze the proposal. Before accepting the FIP, a committer should
> call for a vote, requiring 3 votes and no vetoes from committers. Votes are
> timebox at 1 week, and conducted through email (with the subject [VOTE]).
> # Create a pull request implementing the FIP, and referencing the issue.
