*Debian Enhancement Proposals* (or *DEPs*, for short) offer a device to |
| 8 |
|
|
**organize discussions** about various kinds of enhancements in the |
| 9 |
|
|
[Debian project](http://www.debian.org), reflect their **current |
| 10 |
|
|
status** and, in particular, **archive their outcomes**. |

In essence, each enhancement proposals is assigned to one or more |
| 18 |
|
|
**drivers** which follow the proposals advancing through various |
| 19 |
|
|
[**states**](deps/dep0/workflow.png), until it is finally accepted (or |
| 20 |
|
|
rejected). Discussions about ongoing DEPs happen in the usual Debian way |
| 21 |
|
|
(i.e., the most appropriate mailing list, IRC channel, etc.). |
