What is SIP ​

SIP stands for Shadowsocks Improvement Proposal. SIPs are standards specifying potential new features or processes for Shadowsocks.

How to submit a SIP? ​

Shadowsocks is a community open to any reasonable improvements. To submit a SIP, please open a SIP issue on our GitHub issue tracker.

When will a SIP be accepted? ​

If most of the core contributors agree to accept a SIP, a formal SIP document will be published on this site. All the developers will review and follow the SIP to implement their own implementations. The whole process usually takes months.
