Implementation of non-trivial new luma.gl features should typically be started off with the creation of an RFC (Request for Comments) to make sure we have a complete story. It also allow the bigger team (as well as the community) to comment and contribute insights.

RFC Status	Description
Proposed	Call for an RFC to be written
Draft	Work-in-progress, not ready for formal review
Pre-Approved	No major initial objections, draft pre-approved for prototyping
Review	Ready for formal review
Approved	Approved, ready for implementation
Experimental	Approved and implemented as experimental API
Implemented	Approved and implemented (as officially supported API)
Deferred	Review uncovered reasons not to proceed at this time
Rejected	Review uncovered reasons not to proceed

Reviews

The core developers will review RFCs (and of course, comments from the community are always welcome). Recommended review criteria are being documented in RFC Review Guidelines.

Longer-Terms RFCs

These are early ideas not yet associated with any release

v6.x RFCs

Current direction for luma.gl v6.x is to focus on:

GPGPU compute - rich library for building and testing, WebGL1 fallbacks for transform feedback/floating point
shader modules - shader module system improvements for GPGPU
performance - especially shader compilation/linking execution performance
improved WebGL2 support - more examples
code size
