It's come to my attention that we seem to lack a repository detailing the implementation and modifications of the various bips (bitcoin improvement protocols). Even though this was fine when you have a small dev group we have started to grow to such a size where lack of this is no longer feasible.
Detailed documentation on the bips are very important for 3rd party wallet and services that will later integrate into the network. Having a central place where these bips are well documented should prove to be a huge time saver for core and non-core devs.
As an example when building the iOS wallet any feature even slightly changed from bitcoin I needed to reverse engineer from C code. 3rd party services have been doing the same up till now, or asking on the dev slack. This takes a lot of time away from other people.
The original bitcoin bips are located at https://github.com/bitcoin/bips
This proposal is to set a bounty for a fork and update on the documentation of these bips as well as a status report on each bip (completed/abandoned/partially supported) and if we don't support it, should we? There are ~100 bips, so this could take some time.
My role will be find someone to carry out this task, manage, and help them. This is tedious work that many people are not qualified to do, but if you feel qualified send me a PM. I would probably only make the proposal to the network after having found someone that could do this.
Suggestions to the bounty amount welcome. I was thinking 120 DASH. I was also thinking of taking 15% of the bounty as I'd be managing and putting in work myself. Please mention if you are against that.
After this work on bips is done, we can move forward in creating the same for dash (dips).
