People wishing to submit BIPs, should first describe their idea to the [https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev bitcoindev@googlegroups.com] mailing list. Please open a pull request to this repository only when substantial progress on the draft has been made, preferably when the draft is nearing completion. After meeting the editorial criteria, a BIP Editor will assign a number, and it will be published here. Authors do <em>not</em> assign a number to their own proposal. Please see <a href="bip-update-process.md">BIP Update Process</a> for the full process.

on the draft has been made, preferably when the draft is nearing completion. After a proposal meets the editorial
criteria, a BIP Editor will assign a number to it, and publish the proposal by merging the pull request to the

The BIPs repository serves as a publication medium and archive. Having a BIP published here indicates that the proposal is in scope of and has met other formal criteria for this repository, but does not indicate that it is a good idea, has community consensus, or that it is about to be adopted. The BIP Editors are expected to be liberal with approving BIPs, and try not to be too involved in decision making on behalf of the community. Beyond the formal criteria, evaluation of the proposals is left to the audience of the repository. The exception are rare cases when a decision is contentious and cannot be agreed upon. In those cases, the conservative option will be preferred. Authors proposing changes should consider that ultimately consent rests with the Bitcoin users (see also: [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Economic_majority economic majority]).
