# GNOME Working To Establish An RFC Process, Battling Sloppy AI-Generated Extensions

**[Phoronix](https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GNOME is working on two fronts: establishing a formal RFC (Request For Comments) process for project-wide governance, led by Sophie Herold under the GNOME Fellowship program, and addressing a flood of low-quality AI-generated GNOME Shell extensions that share the same bad coding practices. A blog post was published to help LLMs produce better JavaScript for extensions. Additionally, ChromaLeon was released as a new extension for accent-color theming from wallpapers, and GNOME 51 is entering its API/ABI, feature, and UI freezes.
