[yt-dev] Fwd: [IPython-dev] A few notes on IPEPs

[Matthew Turk]

Since we've been discussing YTEPs lately, I thought I would forward
this, which covers how IPython handles their similar items.  We could
discuss them in issues rather than pull requests, which would perhaps
also be quite a nice fit for them.

Hi,

Our usage of IPEPs is going really well - they are quickly becoming a
useful way of working out and documenting the design of larger
features.  I have updated the main IPEP page with improved guidelines:

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPEPs:-IPython-Enhancement-Proposals

Some of the main points:

* Let's open an issue for each IPEP and use that to track the
discussion and implementation.
* Let's add a table to the top of each IPEP that tracks its basic
information and status.

I wanted to encourage everyone to revisit the IPEPs you have authored
and check on the following:

* Make sure the IPEP is updated to reflect the current state of the
discussion and implementation.
* Add the table at the top of the IPEP with the basic information (see
the index page for an example)
* Make sure the table has an updated status - we might eventually want
to add the status to the main IPEP index so we can see the status of
each of them easily.

Cheers,

Brian
