This repository is the home of all BigchainDB Enhancement Proposals (BEPs), along with ideas for new ones and discussions around proposed or existing ones.
The process to add or change a BEP is the following:
- A BEP is created and modified by pull requests according to BEP-1 (our variant of C4).
- The BEP life-cycle SHOULD follow the life-cycle defined in BEP-2 (our variant of COSS).
- Non-cosmetic changes are allowed only on Raw and Draft specifications.
