 # Godot Improvement Proposals
 
-In order to improve the workflow of proposing, discussing, reviewing
-and later on implementing features or enhancements in Godot Engine,
-this repository is used to centralize all the proposals in one place
-apart from bug reports.
+This repository serves as the central hub for proposing, discussing, and
+reviewing new features and enhancements in Godot Engine. While there exists
+some leeway, most changes made to the engine must go through the proposal
+process first. The goal is to determine whether the suggestion makes sense
+for the majority of Godot users, and to figure out the best approach to
+implement it.
 
-Proposals are made by opening issues in this repository, which will
-then be discussed with fellow Godot users and contributors. If a
-proposal is considered good to implement, it will be approved by a
-core developer.
-
-**Proposals should be made by opening an issue, not a pull request.**
-Don't fork this repository to open a proposal.
+As such, everyone is welcome to participate in ongoing discussions, or start
+a new one.
 
 > **Tip:** Use the [Godot proposals viewer](https://godot-proposals-viewer.github.io/)
 > to view all open proposals on a single page. This allows for easy searching
 > in proposal titles using <kbd>Ctrl + F</kbd>.
 
+Bug reports are not a subject of the proposal process. If you experience
+an issue while using Godot that cannot be attributed to a missing feature,
+please open a report in the [main Godot repository](https://github.com/godotengine/godot).
+Feel free to open a pull-request based on any bug report as well!
+
+## Suggesting improvements
+
+You have two options to make a suggestion for the future of the engine. You
+can either open a proposal [**Issue**](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/new/choose),
+or you can create an open [**Discussion**](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/discussions/new).
+
+Proposal *issues* are required to explain in technical detail how the suggested change
+should be implemented. It is also preferred that the submitter of a proposal is
+ready to implement it if it was approved. If you have a more general idea for
+a feature but are not well versed in Godot's architecture or do not possess
+the necessary knowledge to implement it in the engine, feel free to open a
+[*discussion*](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/discussions/new)
+instead of an [*issue*](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/new/choose).
+
+A valid feature proposal will be held open to allow fellow Godot users and
+contributors to weigh in on the suggestion and its implementation. While all
+opinions are considered, a core developer must approve the feature and its
+implementation for a proposal to be considered ready to implement.

+**Proposals should be made by opening an issue or a discussion, not a pull request.**
