Great idea -- thanks for pushing this forward all. In the end, you can have the NEPs in a separate repo, and still publish them closely with the main docs (intersphinx is pretty cool), or have them in the same repo and publish them separately. So I say let the folks doing the work decide what

Would be great to have structure, and especially a template - ideally, the latter is enough for someone to create a NEP, i.e., has lots of in-template documentation. One thing I'd recommend thinking a little about is to what extend a NEP is "frozen" after acceptance. In astropy we've seen

I was planning on looking at/working on the main doc generating system and the main webpage (for numpy and scipy) soon (over the winter break), but I didn't want to get too many things in the discussion right now. My immediate interest is getting agreement on the first two items: - A purpose and
