Please send all BIP-related email to <gmaxwell@gmail.com> (no cross-posting please). Also see BIP Editor Responsibilities & Workflow below.

	The BIP process begins with a new idea for Bitcoin. It is highly recommended that a single BIP contain a single key proposal or new idea. Small enhancements or patches often don't need a BIP and can be injected into the Bitcoin development work flow with a patch submission to the Bitcoin issue tracker. The more ~~focussed~~ the BIP, the more successful it tends to be. The BIP editor reserves the right to reject BIP proposals if they appear too ~~unfocussed~~ or too broad. If in doubt, split your BIP into several well-~~focussed~~ ones.		The BIP process begins with a new idea for Bitcoin.

	Each BIP must have a champion -- someone who writes the BIP using the style and format described below, shepherds the discussions in the appropriate forums, and attempts to build community consensus around the idea. The BIP champion (a.k.a. Author) should first attempt to ascertain whether the idea is BIP-able. Posting to the [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0 Development&Technical Discussion] forum or the [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=bitcoin-development bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net] mailing list is the best way to go about this.
