Namecoin Enhancement Proposals

[indolering]

The idea of a more formal Namecoin Enhancement Proposal process (similar to Bitcoin, Python, et. al) has been kicked around for a while but no action taken on it.

Usually, these documents are static, with the commenting mostly happening in a mailing list somewhere. This way of doing things misses out on an important opportunity to capture institutional knowledge along with the proposal.

So, instead of a separate website, what if we just create a label (like NEP) for Github issue/ticket system and put them there? We can label it as draft/rejected/accepted as well and when an idea is implemented it can be attached to the correct milestone.

I've create a dummy version on my Github account, if anyone wants to see what it looks like : )

Do it.

Good idea.

Too much tired to discuss on the way to do it (wiki / ticket / repo / etc) for now :p

As said on irc, bitcoin has moved to a similar system 3 months ago : https://github.com/bitcoin/bips

Yes, and it looks like the ticket system doesn't support headers or history. Since we have to switch back to a separate wiki anyway, we might as well go back to putting specs and there and just call the NEP's. I'll try to remember to make a template.
