Done: https://github.com/petertodd/bips/ GitHub supports MediaWiki these days, so just directly copying from 'View Source' in the bitcoin.it wiki worked pretty well; I archived the exact text of BIP. Tables, images and math is all supported by github and look fine, although github doesn't seem to support coloration in tables. Users wishing to edit their pull-req's or create new ones can do so easily by forking the repository - they can see their changes as they go in GitHub. I've probably missed some stuff re: formatting, and I haven't changed any of the submission guideline text in bip 1 yet, but that's probably 90% of the work done. -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 000000000000000245a735ccc14b98552e152f773c07efa2e89dd7f0463f61cf
