Style of expected contributions
The main focus of the SXP Wiki is to make progress towards conceiving and realizing the SXP protocols.
But the SXP ideas naturally lead to interesting considerations in terms of the potential societal impact of such a system. These considerations are most welcome in the discussion pages, dedicated to specific questions, sometimes with specific formats, e.g. Pros and Cons as in this page. The direct impact of such discussion pages will only be to help us take the right design decisions, on how to best conceive these protocols, whenever these technical decisions can help improve the Pros and limit the Cons, or help support future foreseen features.
Generally speaking, contributors are expected to understand that the SXP protocol is essentially a generalization of current payment protocols, allowing anyone to exchange anything, anywhere and with anybody - in a secure way. And to believe that this is worth the shot. They are expected to bring new questions and solutions in an orderly fashion, towards the accomplishment of the project.
