+Hello and welcome to another issue of *This Week in Rust*!
+[Rust](http://rust-lang.org) is a systems language pursuing the trifecta:
+safety, concurrency, and speed. This is a weekly summary of its progress and
+community. Want something mentioned? Tweet us at [@ThisWeekInRust](https://twitter.com/ThisWeekInRust) or [send us an
+email](mailto:[email protected]?subject=This%20Week%20in%20Rust%20Suggestion)!
+Want to get involved? [We love
+contributions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/wiki/Note-guide-for-new-contributors).
+
+*This Week in Rust* is openly developed [on GitHub](https://github.com/cmr/this-week-in-rust).

+Changes to Rust follow the Rust [RFC (request for comments)
+process](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs#rust-rfcs). These
+are the RFCs that were approved for implementation this week:
+
+* [RFC 953: overloaded assignment operations `a += b`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/953).
+* [RFC 1135: Implement raw fat pointer comparisons](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1135).
+* [RFC 1192: Allow a `x...y` expression to create an inclusive range](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1192).
+* [RFC 1229: Turn statically known erroneous code into a warning and continue normal code-generation](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1229).
+
+# Final Comment Period
+
+Every week [the team](https://rust-lang.org/team.html) announces the
+'final comment period' for RFCs and key PRs which are reaching a
+decision. Express your opinions now. [This week's FCPs][fcp] are:

+
+# Crate of the Week
+
+This is a new part of this weekly installation, where we will write about a crate that some of you may not know.
+Please nominate a crate of your choice at the [rust-users thread](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/crate-of-the-week/2704/15) so we can write about it next week.
+
+For this first installment, the most votes went to [Serde](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde). Despite many of you probably knowing it, we accepted the popular vote because of the great benefit those who don't yet know it may get. Thanks go to [bstrie](https://users.rust-lang.org/users/bstrie) for the suggestion.
+
+[**Serde**](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde) (de)serializes arbitrary Rust data to a number of formats, including [JSON](https://crates.io/crates/serde_json), [XML](https://github.com/serde-rs/xml), [YAML](https://github.com/serde-rs/yaml/), [Bincode](https://crates.io/crates/bincode) and [MessagePack](https://crates.io/crates/rmp). It is possible to write encoder/decoder pairs to work with Serde that don't need to know too much about Rust objects, and Rust data structures only need a pair of auto-derived traits to work with Serde. Now what can one use serializaton for? Storing Rust objects in files or database blobs, sending them between processes, over language-barriers or over the network, for one.
+
+In short, Serde is _the_ Rust framework for your (de)serialization needs.
