I can code this after the community approves the NIP. The most interesting part is to see how the approval will be handled.

Let's vote.

Perhaps one topic could put a post linking to the other and be locked rather than have two topics for the same thing?
(not going to suggest who should do what - maybe you guys can work that out together)

Let's vote.

Let's poke.

edit: No, really. What's this Ninja in Pajamas about? Please clarify the proposal!

I suggest that any matters that involve protocol changes be approved by a unanimous vote of the tech committee. Most people would not have the expertise to balance the factors involved in making the right decision. If the tech committee cannot reach unanimous agreement, then we must assume that there is some unacceptable risk factor. The decision should be based solely on technical basis, not on any philosophical or other grounds.

As far as what issues go to the tech committee, I think we can use a definition similar to pornography, if it looks like something for the tech committee it must be something for the tech committee. We will know it when we see it.

What about things like deciding whether to add a new functionality into NXTcore? i can see a situation where some people just wouldnt want it for a nontechnical reason. Since people wouldnt be forced to use any new function, I think as long as the tech is sound, a majority forum vote will suffice to get it added.
