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.

Fred Drake 63570042bf It's "barry" now, not "bwarsaw"... 2000-10-30 21:16:38 +00:00
Fred Drake ceba1877b2 Update a few email addresses. 2000-10-30 20:48:44 +00:00
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.
2000-08-23 15:58:05 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5ff3374dd9 Get rid of the `Technical' PEP category. PEPs are either Standards
Track or Informational.
2000-08-23 05:04:42 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 11ff4a143f Add a link to the PEPs themselves in footnote 3, suggested by Peter
Schneider-Kamp.
2000-08-17 05:01:20 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ef6afbc490 Added a link to the SF CVSweb pages where the PEP histories can be
retrieved.

Barry Warsaw eac1680c48 Two typo corrections found by Terry Reedy. 2000-08-17 02:53:00 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 9fbbdf8f69 Added a second footnote with more information about the pep2html.py
script.
2000-08-15 05:54:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 269dd97ab2 There are now three basic types of PEPs: informational, standards
track, and technical.  The (new) latter type describes internal or
implementation changes that don't have a direct visible effect on the
Python language (e.g. Stackless).
2000-08-14 14:48:20 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 6f15dc67f4 Informational PEPs can also have a status of Active. 2000-08-08 02:30:55 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f4c64c9925 PEP proposals must have a title and an abstract. 2000-08-07 23:00:47 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 86fcb76ff6 Fleshed out the bulk of the guidelines, after internal discussion
among the PEP authors and the BDFL.
