Are we going to move ahead with this?

If so, I'= ;m volunteering to create the repository and import the current BIPs from t= he wiki there (and convert from wiki markup to markdown where necessary).

2) Time passes. =C2=A0Software for BIP drafts is developed, tested,
published, and publicly discussed in a typical open source manner.

Personally I think it is useful to have a numbe= r as soon as a BIP can be implemented, even if still in draft status; it gi= ves something to refer to when mentioning a certain improvement proposal (i= n commit messages and such it could be called BIP xxx Draft).
I don't think we are at risk of running out of numbers to as= sign any time soon.

It's quite normal for standards bodies to allocate numbers when in dra= ft status. If they don't pass, they don't pass - they are clearly l= abelled DRAFTs.

+1 on having things in a github repository. Much better= for collaboration,

Drak
