Done: https://github.com/petertodd/bips/ GitHub supports MediaWiki these days, so just directly copying from 'View Source' in the bitcoin.it wiki worked pretty well; I archived the exact text of BIP. Tables, images and math is all supported by github and look fine, although github doesn't seem to support coloration in tables. Users wishing to edit their pull-req's or create new ones can do so easily by forking the repository - they can see their changes as they go in GitHub. I've probably missed some stuff re: formatting, and I haven't changed any of the submission guideline text in bip 1 yet, but that's probably 90% of the work done. --=20 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 000000000000000245a735ccc14b98552e152f773c07efa2e89dd7f0463f61cf --1yeeQ81UyVL57Vl7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQGrBAEBCACVBQJSZMjzXhSAAAAAABUAQGJsb2NraGFzaEBiaXRjb2luLm9yZzAw MDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDc4NTMwYmI2NTRjNjZiZmEwNmUyMzNlYWMyYzQ5NTI4ZmU3 ZmU2NjBjZDZmMDFmZWQvFIAAAAAAFQARcGthLWFkZHJlc3NAZ251cGcub3JncGV0 ZUBwZXRlcnRvZC5vcmcACgkQJIFAPaXwkfsAngf+N9TLmp6cQVJ2oSlLmXU12Tl+ f4+usC/hN4jbBoQDjXcfBAg/gzjdjK44NGyJh8L00GMMIuur27iATViZ2T1VsenC ISN/+WkhEtYZ6szkABK3fDFLJ/gr17kd76TAnEdim9nW2zsRteA4Za8HPBbD7ggg fvFw4Smgb9ykeoAUMKxAwDDQgQSWWLjGqj/HkKDZiPBU/elCi9e+Mu7+PUHNpaDt SHBgk/DNbggV4rN0VmiDK0zRZZGQWgoR0qX98uRzN/WLt0qlG/d4YNv87Jx+egga BnC9IiqXda1Ph+tHRTR0EfM320Sf9VrlaZbLty5og3Y57s+xdaC+UGuVOeCklA== =gs+0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --1yeeQ81UyVL57Vl7--
