Barry Warsaw 0e36409f13 David Goodger writes:
* Changed the "PEP Template" section to "PEP Formats and Templates",
  in which plaintext and reStructuredText PEPs are described.

* Added "PEP Header Preamble" heading, for the RFC 2822 header
  description.

  - Rearranged some descriptions to match the header order.
  - Removed the colons from header field names (e.g., "the Author
    header").
  - Added a description of the Content-Type header.

* Moved the plaintext-PEP-specific "PEP Formatting Requirements"
  section to PEP 9.  PEP 1 now deals only with content, not format.

* Minor edits, including:

  - Capitalized "Standards Track" and "Informational" throughout.
  - In "it's not like such decisions can be reversed", "can" should be
    "can't"; fixed.

Barry Warsaw 4a805d3603 Based on feedback inspired by Francois Pinard, we're changing the
format of the Author: header to be "Random J. User <address@dom.ain>"

Update PEP 1 style guidelines.

Updated PEP 9 template.

Updated PEP 0 as an example.

Barry Warsaw 83614f97e5 Addeda paragraph about transferring ownership of the PEP. 2002-07-12 16:39:49 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 732c0ece30 Remove Barry's & Jeremy's email address from the Authors: header (note
to other PEP authors -- it is okay now to omit your email address from
this header, although we will be obscuring it soon).

Also, use peps@python.org as the PEP editor contact address instead of
Barry's personal address.

Remove Guido's email address.

Other updates explaining where address obscuring takes place and where
it doesn't.

Updated the Emacs file local variable section.

Barry Warsaw d01aa72709 Because of the redesign of PEP 0, titles can now be of a maximum 44
characters in length (up from the previous 38).  I think this still
gives us plenty of room for the owner fields.

Jeremy Hylton 5b4565c9b8 Revise guidelines for discussion of PEP before draft exists. The goal
is to limit needless and uninformed discussion of an issue, not to
prevent all discussion.
2000-10-16 20:32:29 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 21d59a4d3b In order to get a PEP number, you need more than just an abstract.
You need a rough draft.
