BigchainDB Enhancement Proposals (BEPs)
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.
