Today we officially launched the RFC process for the new, unified OpenChain Frequently Asked Questions. This sub-project, spanning both our curriculum and onboarding teams – with input from specification and conformance – is designed to make it easier to understand each aspect of our project.
We are actively seeking feedback around the clarity of intent, the language used and possible omissions. Our goal is to ensure that visitors to the OpenChain Project can ground themselves in any section of the project as quickly as possible.
