Here’s the first draft of the FAQ. Thoughts? Should we mention PyPi?
FAQ: How to create a successful proposal?
- Check if your idea is backwards compatible, otherwise it needs very good justification
- Be willing to help implement and maintain it, don’t expect us to do the work for you
- Read & summarize previous discussion, including of similar proposals. Don’t create a thread if you have nothing to add or to address the reasons they were rejected
- The PEP Index
- The Ideas & Python Help categories on this forum
- The old python-ideas mailing list
- The issue tracker
- If there are other ways to achieve your idea, explain why they’re insufficient
- Give clear examples describing how your idea works
Look for applicability on Github
