Hi Michael,

Thanks for sharing the details about the meeting.

Wishlist has some interesting points. I would like to suggest few things:

1.BIP process:=20

A. Plan and document a proposal

 B. Open PR in=C2=A0https://github.com/bitcoin/bips and edit everything pro=
perly

 C. BIP is assigned a number and merged

 D. Share the proposal on bitcoin dev mailing list

bitcoin-dev mailing list link can be considered a BIP and saved in a BIP di=
rectory. Anyone can create such directories. So BIP is nothing but a propos=
al shared on bitcoin-dev mailing list.

Who implements the BIP? When is it implemented? How is it implemented? Opin=
ions on proposal etc. will be different for each BIP. This will avoid the '=
bitcoin/bips' repository being considered as some BIP authority that approv=
es BIPs and proposals can improve Bitcoin without using the repository. Rep=
ository will only be helpful in documenting BIP correctly.

2. Bot in `bitcoin/bips` repository that notifies about pull requests based=
 on different things. This will help maintainer(s) and contributors.

3. BIP Gallery: I tried sharing things in a different way so that newbies c=
an understand importance of BIPs in Bitcoin and relate to it:=C2=A0https://=
prayank23.github.io/BIPsGallery/=C2=A0however couldn't complete it with all=
 the BIPs because not many people considered it helpful. There were few sug=
gestions to improve it by adding some text for each BIP and better image ga=
llery. Maybe someone else can create a better project.=C2=A0
