Here's a question to early cypherpunks and #Bitcoin historians:

How come the first BIP was created on 19th of August 2011, but the announcement of the new Bitcoin Enhancement Proposal aka BEP was made on bitcointalk only a month later.

What's the correct timeline here? Was the first BIP originally a BEP to later get changed to be a BIP?
