1. Adopt a Formal RFC Process for Each New Feature / Refactoring in Cytoscape 2.3

Each new feature / refactoring slated for Cytoscape 2.3 will go through a public review process via an RFC posted to the Cytoscape Wiki.

["RFC_1"] will serve as a starting template for all RFCs.

Depending on the feature, the RFC should include the following:

Use case addressed.
Proposed user interface.
Proposed API.

Once posted to the wiki, the RFC owner should announce it via the cytostaff emailing list, and provide a specific deadline for public discussion. RFCs should be open for public comment for at least one week.
