new resource site for
authors of Internet-Drafts

The new central resource site for authors of Internet-Drafts (I-Ds),
authors ietforg; is now in production
In late 2o20/early 2021 we surveyed Internet-Draft (I-D) authors and
key theme
to emerge was that documentation and resources for authors were hard to use as
they were distributed across multiple sites and often inconsistent or out of date:
To address this,
a new central resource site, authorsietforg, has been developed
that pulls together and updates the existing documentation as well as adding new
documentation to fill known gaps:
authorsietforg has been produced with significant input from the developers of |-
Dauthoring tools, the Tools Team and the RFC Production Center (RPC)
includes a new set of RFCXML templates for |-D authors that the RPC recommend
are used going forward as they address many of the common issues they
encounter
Work is still underway to remove andlor redirect overlapping documentation on
other sites_
Initially, the site will be maintained as required by the Tools team; the IETF
Administration LLC, and the RPC, but it is hoped that more and more of the site
will be edited and updated by the community: To that end, all of the pages are
mirrored to a CitHub repository and we welcome people adding issues and
submitting
requests_
General feedback to the tools-discuss list is also
welcome:
