Kolibri Improvement Proposals (KIPs)
DEPRECATED: Please use the Kolibri Improvement Proposal section of the forum to submit and discuss KIPs!
The Kolibri Improvement Proposals repo is a place to submit, consider, and discuss gov proposals for the Kolibri Protocol. By no means is it the only way to have these discussions, but in general the pull request/software review cycle lends nicely to writing proposals and iterating on them.
This sort of proposal system has been used to great effect by other projects (like Django, Debian, Curve Finance, and countless others), and should work well for Kolibri as well. It's very useful to drive consensus off-chain about changes, refining them, and having proposals
Not all KIPs need to be gov proposals that end up on-chain - they can outline various other changes (e.g. adding or removing a specific mod to the Kolibri Discord).
Process
To propose a new KIP, you should copy the kips/_template.md file to a new file named something like kips/KIP01 - Some Proposal Title.md, fill out the relevant parts, and then open a new pull request against the master branch. From there you should post in the Kolibri Discord (and possibly tweet about it using the #kolibri tag), and folks can show their support via 👍/👎 emojis on the PR itself, as well as ask whatever questions they have.
Adoption
Once things have had deliberation period of at least 3 days, the PR will be merged, which should coincide with whatever actions need to be carried out (a proposal being submitted to the DAO - linking to the proposal, or any other things necessary by whomever can do it).
