BEP 0: Bokeh Enhancement Proposals

Bryan Van de Ven edited this page Aug 20, 2020 · 5 revisions

Motivation

Changes to major architectural features, development process, or release management require wide discussion and consensus. The documents that record the results of these discussions are "Bokeh Enhancement Proposals", abbreviated BEPs.

Process

BEPs live on the GitHub wiki for the Bokeh project (i.e., right here). All BEPs should have a standard header at the top (except this one, which has the header below). This header must include the authors, the current status (WIP or Implemented), and a link to a corresponding GitHub issue for discussion. When appropriate a link to a PR implementing the BEP should also be included. For example:

BEP 0 Bokeh Enhancement Proposals
Authors Bryan Van de Ven
Status Implemented
Discussion https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues/1498

Acceptance or rejection of new proposed BEPs happens according to to the process codified in BEP 7: Decision Making.

Pronunciation

BEP is to be pronounced /biːp/ (i.e., "beep")

If you have doubts about how to actually pronounce it, here you have a reference (we accept UK and US pronunciations): http://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/british/beep
