 Project Jupyter has adopted the Jupyter Enhancement Proposal process (JEP) to address distributed collaboration and experimentation as the project scales in the dimensions of contributors, components, and lines of code.  At a high level, the primary guiding principle of the JEP process is to encourage collaboration and discussion as early as possible in the lifecycle of a major proposed change in Jupyter, with the goal of preventing costly rework, competing ideas, and unnecessary forking or fragmentation of ideas.

 ## What qualifies as a JEP?
 
-This section contains a list of principles and scenarios that can be used to help define a set of principles for determining when something is a JEP. The principles will be used both to determine when something becomes a PR during the JEP pre-proposal stage, as well as to determine when a PR becomes a JEP at an individual repo level.
