+# Tor proposals by status
+
+{warning}
+
+<!-- If you want to make changes here, make sure to edit the -->
+<!-- README_template.md file.  The README.md file is generated by the -->
+<!-- reindex.py script. -->
+
+Here we have a set of proposals for changes to the Tor protocol.  Some
+of these proposals are implemented; some are works in progress; and some
+will never be implemented.
+
+Below are a list of proposals sorted by status.  See
+[BY_INDEX.md](/proposals/BY_INDEX.md) for a list of proposals sorted by number.
+
+# Active proposals by status
+
+## OPEN proposals: under discussion
+
+These are proposals that we think are likely to be complete, and ripe
+for discussion.
+
+{OPEN}
+
+## ACCEPTED proposals: slated for implementation
+
+These are the proposals that we agree we'd like to implement.  They
+might or might not have a specific timeframe planned for their
+implementation.
+
+{ACCEPTED}
+
+## FINISHED proposals: implemented, specs not merged
+
+These proposals are implemented in some version of Tor; the proposals
+themselves still need to be merged into the specifications proper.
+
+{FINISHED}
+
+## META proposals: about the proposal process
+
+These proposals describe ongoing policies and changes to the proposals
+process.
+
+{META}
+
+## INFORMATIONAL proposals: not actually specifications
+
+These proposals describe a process or project, but aren't actually
+proposed changes in the Tor specifications.
+
+{INFORMATIONAL}
+
+# Preliminary proposals
+
+## DRAFT proposals: incomplete works
+
+These proposals have been marked as a draft by their author or the editors,
+indicating that they aren't yet in a complete form.  They're still open for
+discussion.
+
+{DRAFT}
+
+## NEEDS-REVISION proposals: ideas that we can't implement as-is
+
+These proposals have some promise, but we can't implement them without
+certain changes.
+
+{NEEDS-REVISION}
+
+## NEEDS-RESEARCH proposals: blocking on research
+
+These proposals are interesting ideas, but there's more research that would
+need to happen before we can know whether to implement them or not, or to
+fill in certain details.
+
+{NEEDS-RESEARCH}
+
+# Inactive proposals by status
+
+## CLOSED proposals: implemented and specified
+
+These proposals have been implemented in some version of Tor, and the
+changes from the proposals have been merged into the specifications as
+necessary.
+
+{CLOSED}
+
+## RESERVE proposals: saving for later
+
+These proposals aren't anything we plan to implement soon, but for one
+reason or another we think they might be a good idea in the
+future. We're keeping them around as a reference in case we someday
+confront the problems that they try to solve.
+
+{RESERVE}
+
+## SUPERSEDED proposals: replaced by something else
+
+These proposals were obsoleted by a later proposal before they were
+implemented.
+
+{SUPERSEDED}
+
+## DEAD, REJECTED, OBSOLETE proposals: not in our plans
+
+These proposals are not on-track for discussion or
+implementation. Either discussion has stalled out (the proposal is
+DEAD), the proposal has been considered and not adopted (the proposal is
+REJECTED), or the proposal addresses an issue or a solution that is no
+longer relevant (the proposal is OBSOLETE).
