This page serves to index Clawpack Enhancement Proposals (CEPs) to guide Clawpack development. Developers are encouraged to author CEPs for any development in Clawpack that the community needs to discuss before code is written. Currently, our protocol for CEPs is relatively simple.

The CEP author should:

  1. Create a new wiki page with the title "CEP N: Title" where "N" is the next consecutive CEP number and "Title" is an appropriate title for the CEP.
  2. Link to that wiki page from this page.
  3. Create a GitHub issue for the CEP. The issue can be in the clawpack/clawpack repo or a submodule, as appropriate.
  4. Notify claw-dev that you have created the CEP and inform them that discussion is taking place on this issue (provide links to the CEP and issue).
  5. Discussion should continue until consensus is reached.
  6. At that point, a pull request or issue should be opened to track the actual implementation.
  7. The CEP wiki page should be updated with information about the discussion and implementation.

Each CEP should have a table/area at the top with the following information:

Status Active | Accepted | Rejected | Implemented
Author Full Name <full.name@gmail.com>
Created April 6, 2013
Updated April 26, 2013
Discussion link to the issue where the CEP is being discussed
Implementation link to the PR

The status options mean:

Add a custom footer
Add a custom sidebar
