Subject: [Tools-discuss] New IETF Tool Proposal

Hi,
  I have a question regarding adding a new tool to the list at tools.ietf.org. There has been a syntax-verification tool (bnfparser² - http://bnfparser2.sourceforge.net/) developed as a joint project of ANF DATA spol. s r.o. (http://www.anfdata.cz) and the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science (ITI), Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University (http://iti.fi.muni.cz/).
 
Bnfparser² allows runtime generation of a parser from a grammar written in ABNF or other user-defined syntax. The parser is then able to parse strings, locate errors and also mark substrings generated from user-defined nonterminals.
The parser can handle ambiguous grammars as well.
 
We would like to to run an online service within a month; the current version referenced from the bnfparser²'s homepage is obsolete.
 
Finally, here's the question:
What steps need to be done in order that bnfparser² is added to IETF tools?
 
Thank you in advance!
 
Best regards
