   this is a suggestion for adding BIPS as a tab seperated file. This can be used for

   • searching the BIPS using github’s features, see https://github.com/benjyz/bips/blob/master/bips.tsv
   • machine readable structure for applications

   Its a useful feature to look up BIPS. it provides some features with minimal overhead.

2. add csv file b2815e5de8
3. headline 73a1915cbb
4. remove quotes 6c1fdc29b4
5. no commas allowed f684e989aa
6. remove whitespaces bc4ba882d0
7. tabs 30e604e816
8. tsv 6b97114e9e

   Looks like a good idea to me to have a machine parseable version.

    If you’re going to have a machine parseable version, please write a script to generate the non-machine-parseable version version from it so we don’t have to update two places manually.

    Conversely, what’s wrong with extracting it from the existing README.mediawiki? Add a quick script to the repo to do that and spit out your tsv. The format in the README is regular enough to do that.

    Agreed, it would be useful to generate the derived version using a script, so that no two documents have to be updated when a BIP is added or changed status.

    the media-wiki is not perfectly parseable. easiest then would be to have a generator going from tsv => wiki format. I’ll leave for it now.
