An improvement proposal process can be helpful in the decision making process around open-source protocols. A process like this helps ensure that decisions are made deliberately and methodically with ample community input and support. Several improvement proposal process come to mind, although they tend to differ: [Python Enhancement Proposal](https://peps.python.org/pep-0001/): - Started in June 13 2000 - Designed to provide a concise technical specification of new features and the associated rationale - Designed for a technical audience - Has a standards track, an informational track and a process track - Dual license of public domain / CC0-1.0-Universal [Bitcoin Improvement Proposal](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0002.mediawiki): - Started in September 19 2011 - Designed to provide a concise technical specification of new features and the associated rationale - Designed for a technical audience, also contains economic implications - Has a standards track, an informational track and a process track - Variety of licenses recommended or acceptable [Synthetix Improvement Proposal](https://sips.synthetix.io/) - Started in June 9 2019 - Contains a [main page](https://sips.synthetix.io/) and a separate SIP page - Has a SIP track which is standard and a SCCP change for system configuration variables, this may be preferred for economic variables - CCO In order to better to meet the goals of this project, it seems viable that the appropriate process will: - Have two tracks at least, one standards track and one parameter / variable track - Have a variety of editors to prevent gridlock - Have a hosting system similar to synthetix - Be called an “enhancement process” vs. improvement process ![soft](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/softdao/original/1X/28e73e90360b78c0d09ea10c00200110e2c79026.jpeg) ---
