Hence two IRC meetings are being organized, one on Tuesday September 14th (23:00 UTC) and one on Wednesday September 29th (23:00 UTC), both on the Libera IRC channel #bitcoin-dev. Possible discussion topics range from the relatively mundane (should BIP champions need to ACK basic spelling change PRs) to the possibly contentious (what role if any do the BIPs have in informing the community of soft fork activation parameters). At the very least it would be good to address some common misunderstandings and subtleties of the BIP process that many (including myself) are lacking context on. So if you are interested in the BIP process or certainly if you have experienced frustrations with the BIP process in the past as a BIP champion or BIP contributor please attend and we=E2=80=99ll see what progre= ss we can make. There is a BIP process wishlist that some have already contributed ideas too: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/wiki/BIP-Process-wishlist And of course BIP 2 outlines the current BIP process: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0002.mediawiki This is being organized in the spirit of seeking to improve a process and a resource that we as a community all rely on so please engage in the spirit that is intended. I will keep the mailing list informed of anything that comes out of the meetings and the #bitcoin-dev channel is open for discussion outside of the meetings. --=20 Michael Folkson Email: michaelfolkson@gmail.com Keybase: michaelfolkson PGP: 43ED C999 9F85 1D40 EAF4 9835 92D6 0159 214C FEE3
