PEGs are a good format for discussing relatively finished ideas, ready for implementation. Recent discussions with humppake and mudyc have convinced me that we need also a freer forum which can be used to package and label more fragmentary and unfinished ideas, to make them easier to discuss.
In addition to pegboard, all subprojects will have a sibling dartboard subdirectory. The ideas subdirectory will contain subdirectories with names in a similar format to PEGs, e.g.
type_and_connect--humppake elliptical_fillets--mudyc
The subdirectory should contain a main "idea.rst" file.
This is where the similarity with PEGs ends - there are no formatting rules, no processes for accepting or rejecting ideas. The point is just to sketch out something and give it a label by which it can be referred to.
If the author desires, he/she can follow the PEG conventions or ignore them.
Most importantly, posting to the mailing list as soon as the idea is in a state where others can understand it is encouraged (but not mandated).
Hand-drawn scanned sketches and images are also encouraged.
If real review of an idea, for accepting or rejecting, is desired, a PEG referring to the idea can be made.
