+SPEC 0 and SPEC 4
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You've heard about the NEPs, (NumPy enhancement Proposal), having a NEP for something non-numpy specific was sometime confusing.
+Long live the `SPECs <https://scientific-python.org/specs/>`_.
+
+We are now trying to follow SPEC 0 (aka old NEP 29) for of support of upstream libraries.
+
+We also now try to follow SPEC 4 (test and publish nightly on a centralized nightly repository).
+We encourage you to do so as well in order to report breakage, and contribute to the SPEC process !
+
+
+Python 3.12 compatibility ?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Python 3.12 changed its tokenizer to have better support for f-strings and allow arbitrary expression.
+This is a great new feature and performance improvement in python 3.12.
+
+Unfortunately this means the new tokenizer does not support incomplete or invalid Python which will
+break many features of IPython. Thus compatibility of IPython with Python 3.12 is not guarantied.
+It is unclear to which extent IPython is affected, and whether we can/should try to still support magics, shell
+escape (``! ....``), ...,  as well as how to do it if we can.
+
+In addition even if we there is technical feasibility to do so, it is no clear we have the resources to do it.
+We are thus looking for your help if you can _test_ on Python 3.12 to see to which extent this affects users and which
+features are critical.
+
+We are not going to pin IPython to Python ``<3.12`` as otherwise on install pip would downgrade/resolve to IPython 8.13,
+so if you plan to update to Python 3.12 after its release, we encourage for extra care.
