This pull request adds PLEP 0 as an index of PLEPs.

This also reserves the following PLEP numbers for PlasmaPy organizational stuff:

number title author(s) type
1 Purpose and Guidelines of PLEPs   informational
2 PlasmaPy Organizational Structure   process
3 Coordinating Committee Members   informational
4 PlasmaPy License   process
5 Versioning and Releases   process
  • We undoubtedly need PLEP 1 which will include the process for how PLEPs are created and decided upon.
  • We may need an organizational structure PLEP, which I tentatively put as PLEP 2. An alternative would be to keep much of this information in the vision statement.
  • Following SunPy's practices, we can have PLEP 3 on members of the coordinating committee. Otherwise we can put this on our website when we get one, or elsewhere.
  • I was hoping to write a PLEP related to the licensing pull request that I made in Add patent clause to license PlasmaPy#114. This could be PLEP 4.
  • We probably should also specify our versioning and release procedures, perhaps in PLEP 5. This is inspired by: SunPy Core Library Versioning and Release Pattern sunpy/sunpy-SEP#30

Do the index and template look good? Does it make sense to reserve these PLEP numbers for these items? And is there a better acronym than PLEP, given that PEP is kind of already in wide use?
