People wishing to submit BIPs, first should propose their idea or document to the [https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev bitcoindev@googlegroups.com] mailing list (do <em>not</em> assign a number - read <a href="bip-0002.mediawiki">BIP 2</a> for the full process). After discussion, please open a PR. After copy-editing and acceptance, it will be published here.
People wishing to submit BIPs should first describe their idea to the [https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev
bitcoindev@googlegroups.com] mailing list to get feedback on viability and community interested before working on a
formal description. Please open a pull request to this repository only when substantial progress on the draft has been
made, preferably when the draft is nearing completion. Authors do <em>not</em> assign a number to their own proposal.
After a proposal meets the editorial criteria, a BIP Editor will assign a number to it and publish the proposal by
merging the pull request to the repository. Please see [[bip-0003.md|BIP 3: Updated BIP Process]] for the full process.
We are fairly liberal with approving BIPs, and try not to be too involved in decision making on behalf of the community. The exception is in very rare cases of dispute resolution when a decision is contentious and cannot be agreed upon. In those cases, the conservative option will always be preferred.
The BIPs repository serves as a publication medium and archive. Having a BIP published here indicates that the proposal
is in scope and has met other formal criteria for this repository, but does not indicate that it is a good idea, has
community consensus, or that it is about to be adopted. The BIP Editors are expected to be liberal with publishing BIPs
and to try not to be too involved in decision-making on behalf of the community. Beyond the formal criteria, evaluation of
the proposals is left to the audience of the repository. The exceptions are rare cases when a decision is contentious
and cannot be agreed upon. In those cases, the conservative option will always be preferred.
Having a BIP here does not make it a formally accepted standard until its status becomes Final or Active.
Those proposing changes should consider that ultimately consent may rest with the consensus of the Bitcoin users (see also: [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Economic_majority economic majority]).
Those proposing and opposing changes should consider that ultimately acceptance and adoption rests with the Bitcoin
users (see also: [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Economic_majority economic majority]).
