I've revived BIP 2 (from Deferred Status) and given it some updates. Most notably, I have reworked it to be a *replacement* for BIP 1 rather than an addendum.
https://github.com/luke-jr/bips/blob/bip0002_squash/bip-0002.mediawiki Please review it. If things go well, hopefully we can get this done by Christmas. ;) Other recent changes include: * OPL will no longer be an acceptable license. Many in the community feel that prohibiting publication is unacceptable for BIPs, and I haven't heard any arguments in favour of allowing it. * Accepted Status has been renamed to Proposed. The name "Accepted" seems a constant source of confusion since it requires only action from the author. * Non-image auxiliary files are permitted in the bip-XXXX subdirectory. This was already the norm despite BIP 1. * Email addresses are now required for authors. The Travis script has been enforcing this for months now already. * The Post-History header may be provided as a link instead of a simple date. A few BIPs were already doing this. * Markdown format is no longer permitted for BIPs. I don't see the point in allowing multiple formats, and so far we've been fine with just MediaWiki. * The Resolution header has been dropped, as it is not applicable to a decentralised system where no authority exists to make final decisions. Other changes already in the previous draft of BIP 2: * An implementation is now required (when applicable) before BIPs can proceed to Proposed Status. * BIP Comments are newly introduced. * The License preamble headers have been added.
