ZEP stands for Zarr Enhancement Proposal. A ZEP is a design document providing information to the Zarr community, describing a modification or enhancement of the Zarr specifications or a new feature for its processes or environment. The ZEP should provide specific proposed changes to the Zarr specification and a narrative rationale for the specification changes.
We intend ZEPs to be the primary mechanism for evolving the spec, collecting community input on significant issues and documenting the design decision that has gone into Zarr.
ZEPs should be submitted as a draft ZEP in the draft folder of this (zeps) repository via GitHub pull request.
The PR should contain the narrative text of the ZEP with the name zep-<n>.md
where <n> is an appropriately assigned four-digit number. The draft ZEP must
use the ZEP X - Template and Instructions
file.
