Marlowe Improvement Proposals (MIPs) describe standards, processes; or provide general guidelines or information to the Marlowe Community. It is a formal, technical communication process that exists off-chain. MIPs do not represent a commitment of any form towards existing projects. Rather, they are a collection of sensible and sound solutions to common problems within the Marlowe ecosystem. MIPs evolves around different statuses, driven by one or more authors:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | The idea has been formally accepted in the repository and is being worked on by its authors. |
| Proposed | A working implementation exists, as well as a clear plan highlighting what is required for this MIP to transition to "Active". |
| Active | The proposal is deemed to have met all the appropriate criteria to be considered Active. |
| On Hold | The MIP author is not currently working on this effort. |
| Obsolete | The MIP was either retired or made obsolete by a newer MIP. |
| Rejected | There is some issue with the MIP that makes it not acceptable at this point. |
It is therefore quite common for proposals and implementations to be worked on concomitantly. Even more so that a working implementation (when relevant) is a mandatory condition for reaching an Active status.
The entire process is described in greater detail in MIP-1 - "MIP Process".

Below are listed tentative MIPs still under discussion with the community. Discussions and progress will be reviewed by MIP editors. Note that they are listed below for easing navigation and also, tentatively allocating numbers to avoid clashes later on.
