Dear IETF Participants:

The Secretariat has received complaints that Internet-Drafts are 
being posted with formatting errors.  One problem involves the 
concatenation of files, which sometimes occurs when multiple files 
are submitted as attachments to a single email message.  In some 
cases, the attached files include two versions of the same I-D.  In 
other cases, the attached files include two different I-Ds.  Another 
problem involves the insertion of blank lines within an I-D.

The Secretariat has been trying to understand why these problems are 
occurring.  The insertion of blank lines is still under 
investigation.  However, we have performed some experiments that we 
believe shed some light on the concatenation issue.  Based on the 
results of these experiments, it appears that the concatenation of 
files stems from an incompatibility between the email composer 
software and the email reader software.

In our experiments, we sent and received test messages using various 
combinations of the email clients Eudora, Pine, Netscape, and Apple's 
Mail.  Each of the test messages included two text attachments. 
Please note that all four email clients use mime 1.0 and appear to 
correctly specify boundaries between body parts.

The results of these experiments are summarized below.  The number 
"1" indicates that both of the attachments were placed in-line, i.e., 
in the body of the email message, by the email reader software and 
were concatenated when viewed by the recipient.  The number "2" 
indicates that the email reader software identified the attachments 
by name.  And finally, the number "3" indicates that the email reader 
software created files of the attachments and placed them in an 
appropriate directory.  (The last issue is a receiver-side action 
that has no bearing on this issue.  It was included here only for 
completeness.)

Eudora to Eudora		2, 3
Eudora to Netscape		1, 2
Eudora to Pine		2
Eudora to Mail		2

Pine to Pine		2
Pine to Eudora		2, 3
Pine to Netscape		1, 2
Pine to Mail		2

Netscape to Netscape	1, 2
Netscape to Eudora		1
Netscape to Pine		1, 2
Netscape to Mail		1

Mail to Mail		2
Mail to Eudora		2, 3
Mail to Pine		1, 2
Mail to Netscape		1, 2

When a message was sent from Eudora to Eudora, from Pine to Eudora, 
or from Mail to Eudora, the attachments were placed in the 
recipient's "Attachments" directory, and the recipient was notified 
that the message contained two attachments.  Therefore, Eudora 
unwraps the files from the body when it is able to do so.

When a message was sent from Eudora to Netscape, from Pine to 
Netscape, from Netscape to Netscape, from Netscape to Pine, from Mail 
to Pine, or from Mail to Netscape, the attachments were concatenated 
within the body of the message.  However, the recipient was notified 
that the message contained two attachments and could easily find them 
within the message and save them.

When a message was sent from Eudora to Pine, from Eudora to Mail, 
from Pine to Pine, from Pine to Mail, or from Mail to Mail, the 
recipient was notified that the message contained two attachments and 
could save them.

But as you can see, when a message was sent from Netscape to either 
Eudora or Mail, the attachments were concatenated within the body of 
the message and the recipient was *not* notified that the message 
contained attachments.  Therefore, there was no easy way to identify 
and save the attachments other than by scanning the message and 
screen-scraping the relevant parts.

It would be interesting to see if the I-Ds that were concatenated 
were sent by a Netscape email composer, or by some other email 
composer that causes Eudora or Mail to not understand that some body 
parts should be unwrapped and identified as an attachment.  (One 
possible clue...and we say possible because we have been unable to 
prove it...is the fact that Netscape uses 12 leading dashes "--" as 
part of the boundary specification.)  If you have submitted multiple 
I-Ds that have been posted as a concatenation of I-Ds, then we would 
appreciate your letting us know what email composer you used when you 
submitted the I-Ds to the Secretariat.

The I-D administrator at the Secretariat uses Eudora as an email 
client.  When multiple I-Ds are placed in the body of a message, the 
only way that she can know that the submission contains more than one 
draft is if the sender indicates this in the message, or if the email 
reader software notifies her that there are multiple attachments. 
Until now, if neither of these events occurred, then the 
administrator assumed that the message contained a single I-D, and 
copied the entire contents of the message to a single file for 
posting.  We considered having the I-D administrator switch email 
clients from Eudora to Netscape.  However, there may be other email 
composers that are incompatible with Netscape and may cause similar 
problems in the future.

Suggestions for how to solve this problem are welcome.  Until we find 
a solution that corrects the problem without introducing other 
problems, the I-D administrator will manually check for multiple 
files within email messages whenever attachments are not specified. 
Needless to say, this is a time-consuming task, and will slow the 
processing of I-Ds.

A couple of things come to mind:

- Keep an exact bit-copy of everything sent in on the server before 
delivering it to the mailbox; this is fairly easy with almost any 
mail server software running on a Unixy system. This is good practice 
for doing forensics after a mangle.

- Process the attachments with a Perl script, not with a mail client. 
There are a zillion Perl modules for this, and your script could go 
ahead and change the text into the desired format (proper line 
endings, form feeds, and so on). Heck, it could even run the ID-nits 
tool! :-) Use the mail client to see what the Perl script caught and 
check for sanity (does the file name match what they said they were 
submitting, and so on), but don't expect any mail client to not 
mangle incoming text files.

Albert,

Thank you very much for the report!

Would it be possible to save one offending message, unedited and
unmodified by any MIME-processing software, in a text file and let us
look at the file?  (Maybe post it on the web somewhere.)

Thank you very much,

Rohan,

can you please check out draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-06?

I think other people have come to the same conclusion.... this is a topic 
for the General Area meeting at the upcoming IETF meeting.

                         Harald

Hi,

My proposal is to use a web form to submit internet-drafts instead of 
an email.  The form can automatically check for appropriate formatting, 
boilerplate, and other ID nits, and return an immediate response 
indicating the success or failure of the submission. The form could 
also optionally check for WG chair approval for new WG IDs.  The drafts 
that pass the pre-check could be automatically included in the 
repository, or quarantined for inspection and release by the 
secretariat staff.

I realize that this approach has been discussed before and rejected for 
historical reasons.  I do not intend to start a debate on the merits of 
using web pages instead of email, merely to publicly indicate my 
support for the approach.

thanks,
-rohan

Thanks we will look into that.  We need to be a little careful as the 
ID administrator is not a technical person and needs standard type 
tools to process IDs.

Hi Rohan,

    The tools team has been working on specifying such a web interface.
Maybe you'd like to review the draft:

That's fine, but the documents can be pre-processed for her before 
her "standard type tools" even see the email message. That way, the 
Secretariat's tools are in charge of capture and conversion, not the 
mail program she happens to be running.

As someone who travels *a lot*, and often has spotty connectivity, I would
strongly urge a SMTP Submit mechanism to parallel a web-based tool.  For
example, one could have a standard format for the metadata entered in the
first two pages (XML? 822-style keyword-value?) followed by the document.  A
reply stating the submission succeeded or failed would be good.

One thing that made e-mail a killer application is its asynchronous
communication nature.  Sure, IM (in this case, a web page) is great, but it
isn't everything...

At some point in your travelling, you must have internet connectivity 
to send/receive mail. You should be able to do a web form-submit at 
that time. True, you cannot queue these up as easily as you can your 
outgoing email, but you still can do it.

Designing two parallel systems is much more error-prone than designing one.

My guess is that the problematic messages use
"Content-disposition: inline" for the attachments.
If it's possible to insert a filter into the message
stream, I'd bet that changing "Content-disposition: inline"
to "Content-disposition: attachment" (and perhaps adding
"Content-disposition: attachment" to MIME parts that
don't have any Content-disposition: header) would fix
the problem.

I am not a big fan of multiple interfaces in early Toolset versions.  
Moreover, email draft submission has serious drawbacks (documented in  
Tools draft). However, given the large number of IETFers that have a very  
strong preference for using email for draft submission, the Tools team  
felt that we have to provide that option in order to get the tool  
"approved" by IETF.

Unless we have misjudged IETF feelings, it looks like every major IETF  
tool would have to have an email interface if such interface is  
technically possible. Perhaps we should place scary-looking ASCII-drawn  
wolves in our signatures to convince IETFers to stay away from email draft  
submissions? :-)

Alex.

<sigh> Probably right, although I think it is more due to inertia

The mail-based tool is possible, it is just much harder to get right 
in all cases because the draft can get mangled before it hits the 
Secretariat's mail server. Once the message is at the Secretariat, 
there is no problem; there are plenty of Perl (and so on) tools that 
can extract the I-D just fine.

Instead of trying to scare people away from mail submission, there 
might just be some mail feedback that says "Please check your draft 
for formatting after it is published. If the formatting is incorrect, 
submit a revised draft (after bumping the -nn number) through the web 
interface, and use the web interface in the future."

Email submissions are validated just like web submissions. There is even a  
preview provided in the submission response. I suspect that the vast  
majority of formatting errors caused by email agents can be detected  
automatically, and many cases are already checked for by Henrik's idnits  
tool. Some formatting errors will prevent the draft from being posted and  
some will just generate a warning, but even a warning should be sufficient  
for most submitters to get worried and check what has actually happened.

One thing I always do (and the Secretariat probably ignores) is
provide a cryptographic checksum of the draft as I have it.  By so
doing, I provide the Secretariat with a means to ascertain that the
draft wasn't mangled anywhere.

I think this is a reasonable measure to take regardless of true
security mechanisms such as PGP.  Indeed, it would help catch cases
where a PGP-signed draft is published rather than the PGP output
(these can differ if there are lines that start with a dash).

This measure is presently not in
draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-06.txt, but I think it could be
there.  I think it should be.

Current email interface requires no extra metadata. Only sender's address  
is used. Thus, we are not talking about a gradual improvement but a  
significant change here, especially for in-body submissions. Also, I am  
not sure whether email systems are prohibited from modifying plain text  
messages. If they can modify some messages (e.g., to do end-of-line  
conversion), then a checksum would be useless.

Would accepting compressed drafts be a better option? Compression gives  
you a reliable checksum and might be useful for low-bandwidth links. Web  
interface can accept compressed drafts as well. Accepting compressed  
content would be a gradual improvement since the Toolset has to deal with  
various encodings already.

Thanks,

Alex.

Hi,

   The TOOLS team is in need of some new members.

With the IETF-wide call for comments on the requirements for a draft
submission tool, draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-06 [1] we are
approaching the completion of our first task.

However, the list of desirable tools we would like to work on [2]
is large enough that we would like to go forward on several of them in
parallel, and for that more manpower is needed.

If you are interested and are able to contribute to this work, please
send a note to tools-team@ietf.org, indicating items in [2] which
you find interesting and would like to work on.

If you know someone else who might be interested, a note to the
tools-team@ietf.org to that effect would also be appreciated :-)

For more information on the TOOLS team, visit the charter page [3]

	Thanks!

		Henrik

I'm also not sure, but a bit wary about this

I think this is a good path of gradual improvement :-)

Understood and agreed.

Well, providing a checksum would be optional and would be rather the
point of making sure that the file, as a byte sequence, was
transferred intact.  It'd work for many people.  It'd fail for some
(e.g., those with non-'\n' line endings locally).

> Would accepting compressed drafts be a better option?

Quite possibly.  I forget the resolution of the issue with taking
URLs.  If the tool takes URLs, then a cryptographic checksum would
still be useful (including for real security rather than a simple
check).

Thanks to Bill Fenner and Tony Hansen who both hit the nail on the 
head.  We will look at putting a filter in-line with the mail stream 
to change "Content-disposition: inline" to "Content-disposition: 
attachment".  This should fix the concatenated ID problem for email 
composers that use the "Content-disposition:" field but specify 
"inline".  We will also have to figure out how to add 
"Content-disposition: attachment" to MIME parts that don't have any 
Content-disposition: header.

Fortuitously, this has a high probability of also fixing the added 
linefeed and missing ^L problem, because we have only been able to 
observe the phenomena when the ID administrator gets the attachment 
in-line instead of as an attachment.  But, we will have to wait and 
see if it crops up after we have fixed the multiple attachment 
problem to be sure.  In any case, this problem seems to be caused by 
some interplay between Eudora and Notepad.

Often, I do work on drafts while while traveling - so I have no =

I can finish a draft and 'send' it, even if I don't have connectivity.  =

I would rather submit drafts by email than by webpages.

You don't have to do that - most readers assume "attachment" when there is 
no content-disposition header.

As per the below, I believe such a tool could help a lot
at earlier stages in the process.

Mmmm... blush (since doc was approved while I was/am primary AD).

The below shows that (specifically in documents witgh many many references
and citations) it might be good if we had a tool that could check
for such things and alert editors/authors/wgs/us(ADs) of issues
as found by the RFC-editor below.

DO we know of such a tool?

Should I forwar dthis to the TOOLS group/team?

Sorry about this,

         I made several passes on the document in the final reviews to 
resolve all the references.  Obviously, some managed to slip by.

I would say that [RAD802.1X] RFC 3580 pulls this information in indirectly.
And in the future Diameter EAP will as well, therefore, this reference can 
be removed.

change [AAATrans] to [DiamTrans]  in the reference.
This will fix the citation mentioned below.


>[ExtRADPract] Mitton, D., "Network Access Servers Requirements:
>Extended RADIUS Practices", RFC 2882, July 2000.

hmm... actually RFC 2882 gets dragged in by being referenced in [RADIUSTypes]
but for some reason we never discussed what to do with those types in 
Section 9.
Please, retain the reference for now.  I will consider additional text and 
possibly poll the WG.


>[RADIUSIANA]  Aboba, B., "IANA Considerations for RADIUS (Remote
>Authentication Dial In User Service)", RFC 3575, July 2003.

Section 11.2, "AVP Codes" page 83, second paragraph, last sentance:
"These values are assigned by the policy in RFC 2865 Section 6 [RADIUS]"
Add to end of sentance: "and amended by RFC 3575 [RADIUSIANA]."

John,

	As I have stated in my response to Paul, the Tools team is very aware  
that many people prefer email submission. That is why both email and web  
interfaces are to be supported.

	Personally, I believe that off-line submission convenience is less  
important than submission quality, and that the later is much easier to  
monitor and improve with interactive web interface.
However, I am not going to jeopardize the fate of the ID submission tool  
by trying to force IETFers to do what I think is right. This is not the  
fight worth fighting, IMO. Again, the ID Submission draft requires both  
email and web interfaces to be supported.

Thanks,

Alex.

Let's take a page from the W3C, and Computer Science, for that matter.  The
User Interface should be separate from the Verification and Submission
Engine.  That's called Separation of Concerns.  It works.

Eric,

 	I agree that Separation of Concerns often works well, but I am 
not sure what you are suggesting in this particular case. Could you 
elaborate? FWIW, the ID Submission draft does not merge User 
Interfaces and Verification and Submission Engines (whatever that 
would mean). The draft does contain both interface and processing 
requirements.

Thanks,

Alex.

Agreed. Since the ID submission tool supports at least two interfaces, a  
good "engine" implementation would be interface-independent. IIRC, there  
is even an implementation hint about that in the draft.

Not sure what problem you are referring to, but I agree that any metadata  
changes would have to be reflected (in different ways) in web and email  
interfaces as well as the processing engines. As of now, the email  
interface does not allow for manual submission of metadata unless you  
count the "From:" address (the rest is auto-extracted from the draft  
itself).

We have decided to avoid "manual" metadata in email submissions for now.  
Thus, there is no structure other than what MIME gives us. If somebody  
wants to supply draft discussion address or other metadata they would have  
to use the web interface. I would not be surprised if this simple approach  
is eventually replaced with something more flexible/complex, but hope that  
we can launch the tool before that.

I am still not 100% sure whether the current design addresses your  
concerns. It seems to me we are in agreement, and the Toolset does not  
violate the Separation of Concerns principle, but if you spot any design  
bugs, please let us know what they are.

Thank you,

Alex.

The Verification and Submission Engines require a bunch of input, like the
draft text, authors, work group (if a WG draft), etc.

Whether that information gets collected on a web page, WAP page, SIP
MESSAGE, E-mail, etc. doesn't matter.

The web page method lets you directly poke the data structures for the
Engines.  That actually is a problem for when you want to change the web
page or data collected.

A message would require structure, e.g., how to specify the meta data around
the draft.  Then again, that *is* something the IETF Applications Area does
well :)

I am very sure - some mailers mangle messages, and some mangle them a LOT.

- End of line conversion (routine)
- Stripping trailing spaces (rarer)
- Conversion of "From" to ">From" (extremely common)
- Converting between 8-bit, quoted-printable and base64 at random
- long line breaking (rare)
- Swapping headers, including headers of inner body parts
- sheer mangling, especially of non-ASCII characters (variable)

All of this means that signatures of email messages can only be done 
reliably by first reducing them to a canonical form, which should be 7-bit 
encoded, and then calculating a checksum over that - not the original form.

See RFC 1864 for more data on one such scheme.

                       Harald

Hi,

    Below you'll find an ordered list of work items proposed by and for
the tools team.  We would very much like your comments on both the order
of the work items, and the content.  

The list of work items is also available at:
  http://tools.ietf.org/wiki/ToolPriorityList
which will be updated as comments come in.

Please send your comments to tools-discuss@ietf.org .

	Henrik


Summary list:
=============
   1. WG Status update web interface
   2. IETF Meta-information
   3. Components needed by multiple tools (e.g. TMDA? Plone? )
   4. WG Meeting scheduler
   5. Draft status pages (revs, diffs, comments)
   6. WG page components, provided to all WGs:
   7. Notification service - "mail me when this draft/charter changes"
   8. Html-ized WG agendas
   9. I-D tracker extended for use by Chairs
  10. Publication request tool
  11. RSS/Atom feeds for new IDs, RFCs, WGs, ...
  12. Proposed WG / Bof tools - web/wiki space


Detailed list:
==============

   1. WG Status update web interface
            [IESG, Secretariat, Chairs] This Web-based system will allow the WG chairs to manage their WG information directly. ADs will be able to approve the "to-be-updated information," where required, via a password protected Web interface.

   2. IETF Meta-information
            [Tool Builders] This covers at least information about IETF documents, participants, tasks, events. Most likely to stored in XML files and/or some kind of databases. We need to document what info is maintained/available.

   3. Components needed by multiple tools (e.g. TMDA? Plone? )
            [Tool Builders] This is a matter of identifying common tool infrastructure, such as for instance the email return verification provided by e.g. TMDA, and propose solutions which can be used/useful for multiple IETF tools, preferably in the form of existing open-source offerings

   4. WG Meeting scheduler
            [IESG, Secretariat, Chairs] This Web-based application will allow WG chairs, ADs, and the Secretariat to perform all tasks required to generate meeting schedules and agendas. All meeting requests will be submitted directly to the database (with AD approval, if required). A tentative meeting schedule will be generated based on the requested meeting sizes, times, dates, and conflicts to avoid, and the Secretariat will be able to modify the schedule, as needed. Finally, the application will generate a Web page where the WG chairs can submit their agendas. The Secretariat will create all three versions of the agenda (i.e., Word, text, and HTML) at the same time using this application.

   5. Draft status pages (revs, diffs, comments)
            [WGs, Chairs, Authors] This would provide draft status pages for all drafts of the kind currently provided for a limited number of workgroups on http://ietf.levkowetz.com/drafts/ - see for instance the 6to4-security draft page under the v6ops drafts area

   6. WG page components, provided to all WGs:
            [WGs, Chairs] 
          * Issue tracker, mailing list integration
          * Wiki
          * Collaboration pages
          * List traffic summary
    This would make a set of commonly used tools routinely available for all workgroups, and provide an interface to automatically set up and configure the set of tools for a new workgroup. Optionally, the creation of the set of tools for a new workgroup could be fully automatic, triggered by the appearance of meta-information about the new workgroup.

   7. Notification service - "mail me when this draft/charter changes"
            [Community] This provides a selective notification mechanism for general use, complementing the i-d-announce list

   8. Html-ized WG agendas
            [IETF attendees] This transforms ascii format WG agendas, as currently provided for the meetings, so that references to drafts, RFCs and URLs are rendered as HTML links, easily clickable by both those who prepare for a WG meeting, and those who browse the agenda while in a meeting

   9. I-D tracker extended for use by Chairs
            [Chairs, Authors, Secretariat] This would add new states to the I-D tracker, describing the state of drafts while still being in the hands of WGs. This tool would include an interface with restricted write capability, for use by WG chairs to update the draft status to reflect the WG work.

  10. Publication request tool
            [Secretariat, Chairs, Authors (Indep.)] This tool will allow the users to make requests to the IESG to publish existing IDs as RFCs. The IDs will be checked against the ID-nits, and if passed, the IDs will be automatically added to the ID Tracker, and the ADs and Secretariat will be notified.

  11. RSS/Atom feeds for new IDs, RFCs, WGs, ...
            [Tool Builders] This tool will generate RSS and Atom feeds (notifications) from the XML meta-information available for IDs, RFCs, WGs, etc., and provide a standardized alternative to the current i-d-announce and ietf-announce mailing lists. This format will make it possible for individuals and tool-builders to interface in a well-defined way with information from the ietf standards process.

  12. Proposed WG / Bof tools - web/wiki space
            [Community] This would provide tools similar to those provided for workgroups, but do so for BOFs and proposed workgroups.

I think that at least some of item 6 is quite important.  Specifically, I 
think that having a problem tracker available to every working group easily 
would be a good idea.  At the moment, in spite of bugging two different 
people who have in good faith said that they provide such, I have been 
unable to get one for the WG I was trying to get to use one.  (That WG has 
other problems now.)  I think finding a way to make that service available 
without personal intervention and favors is probably hgher priority even 
than the automated scheduler, and MUCH easier.

Yours,
Joel

sob ranking (fwiw)
   1. I-D tracker extended for use by Chairs
	to me this is the most important thing - it will give
	WG chairs the tools they need to manage things and have the
	info public in a common format

   2. Html-ized WG agendas
	easy(ish) and useful

   3. WG Status update web interface
	easy(ish) and useful 

   4. Publication request tool
	the useful part here to me is the ID-nits checker

   5. WG page components, provided to all WGs:
	having all WGs using common tools would help a lot
	in getting a rational understanding of cross WG status and work
	could be a lot of work

   6. RSS/Atom feeds for new IDs, RFCs, WGs, ...
	more useful in the future than now but should not be a big task

   7. Notification service - "mail me when this draft/charter changes"
	cute but does not seem high priority

   8. WG Meeting scheduler
	very very hard to do right (from direct experience with
	class scheduling systems in higher ed) - might be able
	to buy or get a package (a package might also support individual
	attendees noting what they are interested in or letting
	chairs note a list of involved people etc)

can't tell from description
   Components needed by multiple tools (e.g. TMDA? Plone? )
	I'd think that the priority of this should be an internal
	matter to the tool builders - if doing a common set of
	tools first it will speed up other projects or make
	them easier to maintain it sould like a good thing

   IETF Meta-information
	from the description this seems to be a sub part of the 
	"Components needed by multiple tools" task but I can not tell

   Draft status pages (revs, diffs, comments)
	how is this different from the I-D tracker update?

  Proposed WG / Bof tools - web/wiki space
	why is this different than the WG tools?

Henrik-

Nice list.  A couple of additional suggestions:

- a way for wg chairs to put up meeting agendas themselves (up to the
  last minute).  Relying on secretariat support for this while they
  are working an IETF meeting seems not to work for understandable
  reasons.  Groups with late-changing agendas either don't have any
  agenda listed or one which is incorrect.  This seems fairly
  important to me and I'd put it near the top of the list.

- a place for wg chairs/presenters to drop presentation files (up to
  the last minute).  Currently this is done very adhoc, if at all.
  It's worth noting that Lisa Dusseault is making a webdav space
  available for this purpose (see her recent note to the IETF list).
  I haven't played with it enough to say whether I think that is the
  best long term solution or whether it needs some additional
  development.  Since Lisa has a tool out there, I don't see this as
  urgent but it should probably be on the list so it can be
  evaluated.

AFAIK, ID tracker does not provide much information about drafts that are  
not submitted for publication.
And even for submitted drafts, the tracker focuses on IESG review  
states/activities. Most IETFers may lose interest after Last Call but need  
a lot more information as the draft is being created/updated...

The draft status page should provide:
	- draft status (similar to what ID tracker does now)
	- latest draft version text
	- latest draft version [XML] sources (if available)
	- latest draft HTML rendering (if available)
	- latest draft meta-data
	- same for older [un-expired] draft versions
	- generated diffs between any two [un-expired] draft versions
	- "notify me when this draft changes" knob
	- etc. (e.g., somebody asked for "obsoletes X" or "renamed to Y"  
meta-information for drafts)

The meta-data would include things like email address for discussing the  
draft, authors, WG name, etc.
It will be provided by the ID Submission tool and/or extracted from the  
drafts. Other IETF tools will use
this meta-data. For example, the tool that generates a WG summary page,  
would be able to find all individual and WG drafts that are in WG scope.

Given a draft name (without the version number), I should be able to link  
to the latest version of the draft, read an easy-to-navigate rendering,  
see what has recently changed, where to send comments, etc.

Does the above clarify what this item is about? If it does, where would  
you position this item?

Thank you,

Alex.

agreed - but my question was different

if the tracker gets updated for WG chair use I would want most
of these things anyway - so I was asking if there needs to be
two seperate tasks (I think we just need one that includes the
sort of thing you mention here)

AFAIK, ID tracker does not provide much information about drafts that are  
not submitted for publication.
And even for submitted drafts, the tracker focuses on IESG review  
states/activities. Most IETFers may lose interest after Last Call but need  
a lot more information as the draft is being created/updated...

The draft status page should provide:
        - draft status (similar to what ID tracker does now)
        - latest draft version text
        - latest draft version [XML] sources (if available)
        - latest draft HTML rendering (if available)
        - latest draft meta-data
        - same for older [un-expired] draft versions
        - generated diffs between any two [un-expired] draft versions
        - "notify me when this draft changes" knob
        - etc. (e.g., somebody asked for "obsoletes X" or "renamed to Y"  
meta-information for drafts)

The meta-data would include things like email address for discussing the  
draft, authors, WG name, etc.
It will be provided by the ID Submission tool and/or extracted from the  
drafts. Other IETF tools will use
this meta-data. For example, the tool that generates a WG summary page,  
would be able to find all individual and WG drafts that are in WG scope.

+1. This would allow chairs at the beginning of the meeting to say 
"go look *here* for the slides" and know they're available to 
everyone. This might help prevent some of the picture-taking of the 
screen (might not, of course). It also will help alleviate "could you 
go back three slides, I'm not sure I understood it" style questions.

at the most recent nanog meeting i was amused to note that slides
became available on the web site pretty much in real time, ie, the
session coordinator was placing the presentations on the web site as
the speakers were stepping up to the podium.

of course, nanog is fairly agressive about extracting slides from
presenters early, even if they do allow revisions (on a case by case
basis) up until the last minute.

webdav is probably a reasonable way to deal with this.  user auth
database issues, but all solutions i can think of have that (even if
the user auth is just some poor admin person at the secretariat
receiving mail and saying "looks plausible, i'll upload it").

In both lemonade and speechsc, we've followed the lead of
sip/sipping/simple/xcon and setup a supplementary work group web site, where
people can get all of the materials real-time.

An IETF hosted webdav might just be the trick.  The key is the chairs need
pretty unrestricted update access to the website to make it work.

My understanding is that the two items are related but sufficiently  
different. The "draft status" item deals with displaying/summarizing  
virtually all available information about the draft (i.e., "read" mode).  
The "ID tracker" item deals with providing additional information about  
the draft (i.e., "write" mode).

Personally, I would not merge the two. I do not want one activity to get  
blocked by another. I also suspect that a few other tools would operate in  
"write" mode (e.g., ID submission tool or Request for Publication
tool). For consistency and simplicity, I would document each separately  
instead of merging them into a "Things we can do with drafts" draft.

On the other hand, there is no harm in giving both items the same position  
on the priority list.

Let's see what others prefer. Does anybody have a strong opinion here?

Thank you,

Alex.

We struggled with terminology here and failed to get it clear enough.  
"Components" item deals with software pieces, libraries, or products that  
many tools can use. "Meta-information" item deals with what information is  
available to IETF tools. For example, XML DTDs describing IETF WGs or  
known IETF participants would belong to the Meta-information item, while  
the library/tool that helps with participant authentication would belong  
to the "components" item. The latter tool is likely to use the  
meta-information about known IETF participants.

I thought that proposed WGs need things that established WGs do not need.  
For example, established WGs do not need BoF-related tools. I think it  
would be useful to recognize "proposed WG" as a special category and  
eventually provide tools/interfaces so that it is easy to setup a  
"proposed WG" web space, discussion, charter, etc. without giving proposed  
WGs rights such as publishing WG drafts.

I've previously announced the availability of this server to WG Chairs, 
now to announce it more widely:

http://ietf.webdav.org

There are already a few WG directories on this server such as

http://ietf.webdav.org/webdav
http://ietf.webdav.org/enum

If you have presentation material or meeting notes to share with other 
IETF participants, ask me for an account (tell me what userid you would 
prefer and what WG you participate in).  I am also happy to create 
top-level directories for each working group if a chair makes that 
request of me.

I also use this server to coordinate edits to my documents with 
co-authors, granting each of them permission to write the document and 
making it world-readable.  If you do this I recommend to turn on 
versioning on a resource, then comparing versions becomes possible.  I 
have signed up for email notification when one of my co-authors changes 
the document, too.

There are many other uses for the server, it's a general file-sharing 
or simple content-management server, supporting WebDAV -- so you can 
synchronize content locally using a tool like 'sitecopy' or browse 
using the Windows or Mac OS/X native WebDAV client software.  The 
server is hosted by UCSC, software donated by Xythos, and hardware 
purchased by myself.

Lisa

Folks,

  I decided to try actually writing something in the xml2rfc format;
however, I got irritated when I had to write "&amp;" in my organization
name in my usual XML editor (vi).  So, I looked around for something
else; I picked XMLMind's XML editor since it's written in java (so
should be cross-platform) and supports plugins (for WYSIKN authoring).
A 0.1 release is available at:

http://rtg.ietf.org/~fenner/ietf/xml2rfc-xxe-0.1.zip

Unzip this file in your local xxe configuration directory
(~/.xxe2/config/ on UNIX and Mac; C:\Documents and Settings\user\xxe2\config\
in Windows) and opening files with the system DTD definition (or using
the "New..." template) should give you my plugin.

Disclaimer: I know way too little about XML, XPath, CSS and Java to have
put something like this together.  I will certainly accept bug reports,
but can't promise that I can figure out what to do with them ;-)

  Bill

This is important.  Something I've done in venues that are more 
connectivity-challenged than the IETF is to set up a dumb web server 
(bozohttpd) on my laptop, precisely to make it easy for people to 
download copies of my presentation.  Admittedly, the way I do this 
isn't available to everyone; it would be nice, however, if the 
essential functionality were.  (The cynic in me is fond of pointing out 
that if people would prepare their talks ahead of time, this would be 
much less of an issue.  The practical side of me notes that I'm at 
least as fond of last-minute preparation as the next guy...)

There's rudimentary version history available if you turn it on, for 
documents at http://ietf.webdav.org.  For example, click on the 'info' 
button for the XML file in this collection: 
http://ietf.webdav.org/xythoswfs/webui/caldav/

Diffs must be done manually and locally or presumably somebody could 
set up a separate site.

A handful of folks active in the SIP community have been using the 
subversion repository at sipfoundry.org to store the XML source for our 
drafts. Using CVS or SVN makes shared editing much easier, and also 
allows someone with lots of comments to checkout a copy, edit the 
source and either send a patch to the editor or just check in their 
proposed changes.  It also means that anyone with authorization 
(usually everyone) can *read* the source of these documents.  I 
consider this a great feature.

thanks,

Oh yeah,

One last thing.  In order to get write access to a particular project 
on sipfoundry, the contributor needs to agree to the license terms of 
that particular project.  For the "internet-drafts" project, that 
license is RFC 3667.  That way, when someone checks in text, there are 
no questions about compliance with the IETF boilerplate, contributor 
IPR disclosures, etc..

thx,

This is an excellent idea, both the 3667 stuff *and* being able to
automagically get diffs.

note - in practice, there is no such thing as "the same position on the 
priority list".

another note - we need to separate our thinking a bit between tools and 
databases.
we need (IMHO) one unified database of "what's the state of this draft", 
possibly with multiple databases "hanging on the side" of that for 
related-but-not-the-same information (such as IESG ballots or WG issue 
trackers).
and we need multiple tools (I-D submission tool, IESG processing tool, 
publication request tool, WG shepherding tool) that interfaces to this 
database.

In some cases (problem-area wikis?), there is no need for a common database.

But we'll have a hard time discussing what to do first if we continue to 
mix "which databases do we need" with "which tools do we need to manipulate 
the data".

Just my NOK 0.50 (smallest coin available here...)

Aaron,

	Thanks --

This is indeed intended to be part of the "WG Meeting Scheduler" item,
see the detailed description for that.

Ok, point taken. This would fit in either the "WG Meeting Scheduler"
item, the "WG page" item, or both.

It was conceived that something like this would be part of the
"Draft Status Pages" item - I'm adding a clarification on the Wiki.

I didn't get around to it for this meeting, but that was one
of the intended purposes of the content management system on
http://rtg.ietf.org/ -- allowing presenters to upload their
presentations right before the meeting and letting others
download them.  The PCE bof did do this, and I think it worked
well.

  Bill

Clarification: There are two very useful and totally separate items 
here, IMO:

   1) Draft status page with diffs for posted draft versions.

   2) IETF-forge: sourceforge-like functionality to allow IETF
      authors and WGs to concurrently edit drafts, post presentations,
      etc., all without Secretariat involvement/assistance.

Neither is limited to XML sources, of course.

Both are already on the list, but I do not think the second one was 
documented explicitly enough in item 6 "WG page components, provided 
to all WGs". It may be more appropriately named "WG site components".

IMO, we should provide IETF-forge sites for individual IETF drafts as 
well. Disk space is cheap. Good software scales well.

Thank you,

Alex.

P.S. Hmm... Once most WGs use IETF-forge to edit drafts, folks may
      start looking for most recent versions on IETF-forge pages
      instead of official IETF archives. Not sure whether that is
      a problem and how to address it.

Hi,

I've sort of gotten used to having two empty lines between=20
paragraphs, and I never submit multiple drafts in one e-mail,=20
but now it's getting worse:

In (at least) draft-ietf-aaa-eap-10 and draft-ietf-tls-psk-03,=20
all circumflex characters have been stripped. This turned e.g.=20
"2^32" (two to the 32th power) to "232" (two hundred and thirty
two).

In addition to this, there are less serious differences: all=20
the formfeeds are missing, and in draft-ietf-tls-psk-03, three=20
newlines were added in the middle of three different lines=20
(each instance was separated by almost exactly 8000 characters,=20
which probably isn't a coincidence).=20

The other differences don't really matter, but the circumflex
is something I'd like to get fixed. Any ideas how to do it?

As far as I can tell, the attachment is OK when it leaves
my system (Content-Disposition is set to "attachment",=20
Content-Type is "text/plain", Content-Transfer-Encoding
is base64). And when I send the message to my other mailbox,=20
PINE can read and save it just fine (with all circumflexes=20
and formfeeds intact).

Needless to say, I support having a web-based submission=20
interface  in the future... but I'm wondering if accepting=20
ZIP files would be a reasonable temporary fix until we have=20
the new system in place? (At least they have a CRC32 checksum
which should detect accidental modifications.)

Best regards,
Pasi

I would send a URL or a compressed file, along with the explanation 
why you are doing it. Since submission is handled by friendly humans, 
they can handle interface exceptions easily.

After more testing we determined that a filter could be placed to 
intercept email sent to internet-drafts@ietf.org and 
proceedings@ietf.org and ensure email containing attachments sent to 
those addresses had a "Content-disposition: attachment" as part of 
the file header.

A preliminary filter changing "Content-disposition: inline" to 
"Content-disposition: attachment" was placed in service on 11/18/04. 
We will soon have a more comprehensive  filter in place that will 
also handle email from older composers that do not specify a 
"Content-disposition:".  I will send an update when that filter is in 
place.

We belive that this will take care of all three problems that have 
been observed:  concatenated files, extra linefeeds in IDs, and 
missing form-feed.  If such problems are found in the future please 
let us know so we can track down the problem.

Hi Albert, all,

As someone already indicated, it will be helpful anyway to allow sending zip
and tar files.

Some corporate email servers compress all the attachments, and actually is
not so easy for some to tell their IT services not to compress attachments
sent to IETF ;-)

On the other way around, this doesn't harm to the process, right ?

Regards,
Jordi

Well, it did once....

I believe the ban on zip files was introduced a few years ago (between Nov 
2001 and Jan 2002, the Wayback Machine says) because of an incident where a 
zip file contained a virus....... virus detection (and procedures for 
opening zip files) may have improved by now, but I think it's up to the 
secretariat if they want to rescind this ban.

For what it's worth, my I-Ds had been mangled in the past, but an I-D 
published today came through OK.  So I believe the fix has been 
effective.  Thanks!

I've released a version 0.2 of my plugin; it's fairly usable now
so I probably won't do too much more in the short term.  So that I
don't keep spamming the list, I set up a web page for it:

Yeah. When my company sends out a development proposal, we usually make  
all deadlines relative to the purchase order date. Perhaps IETF WGs should  
do the same and use charter approval date as a reference point for all  
deadlines. An "approval date + N days" scheme is something the Charter  
management tools might be able to automate, so I am CCing the Tools team.

Thanks,

Alex.
