Writing a new SIP

This tutorial details of how to write a new SIP and adding it to the website. Currently two mechanisms of providing a new SIP are recommended:

Writing a SIP in Markdown

First, create a new SIP file in the pending/_posts directory. Make sure the new file follows the format: YYYY-MM-dd-{title}.md. Where:

YYYY is the current year when the proposal orginated.
MM is the current month (01 = january, 12 = decemeber) when the proposal originated.
dd is the day of the month when the proposal orginated.
{title} is the title for the SIP.

Use the Markdown Syntax to write your SIP.

See the source for this document (sip-tutorial.md) for how to do sytnax highlighting.
