SEPs: SunPy Proposal for Enhancement

What is a SEP?

SEP stands for SunPy Enhancement Proposal. A SEP is a design document modeled after the Python Enhancement Proposal which describes a new SunPy feature, process, or major changes to existing processes or features. Anyone can submit a SEP by making a pull request to this repository. You can find the official definition of SEPs in SEP-0001. The full list of SEPs can be found in SEP-0000.

Process

Discussion is expected to take place using existing mechanisms and eventually a decision is made regarding whether the proposal should be accepted or rejected by a vote by the SunPy Board.
