Hello everyone,

The schnorr/taproot/tapscript BIPs are ready for review at this point, and
we want to get as much in-depth review from as broad a range of people as
we can before we go further on implementation/deployment. Reviewing the
BIPs is hard in two ways: not many people are familiar with reviewing BIPs
in the first place, and there are a lot of concepts involved in the three
BIPs for people to get their heads around.

This is a proposal <https://github.com/ajtowns/taproot-review> for a
structured review period. The idea is that participants will be given some
guidance/structure for going through the BIPs, and at the end should be
able to either describe issues with the BIP drafts that warrant changes, or
be confident that they=E2=80=99ve examined the proposals thoroughly enough =
to give
an =E2=80=9CACK=E2=80=9D that the drafts should be formalised and move forw=
ards into
implementation/deployment phases.

Benefits of participating:
* Deeply understand schnorr and taproot
* Be a stakeholder in Bitcoin consensus development
* Support/safeguard decentralisation of Bitcoin protocol development
* Have fun!

If you are interested in participating, please sign up here
<https://forms.gle/stnJvHQHREdkaxkS8 >.

Special thanks to AJ Towns for doing most of the heavy lifting to get this
going!

Steve
