Right. We all know from the beginning that a wiki is better
than nothing but, when the number of users/documents grows, it
becomes very hard to keep the information up-to-date.
Another problem is that documents and their comments are not
stored together. The RFC remains, which is fine, but the
comments fly away, except if the author manually copies them
from the list. IMHO, this is the main drawback of the current
system: when I read an RFC, I also want to read the comments
because they're an integral part of the RFC life. It does not
mean that they should not be mirrored to the mailing list, but
it is essential to store them with the RFC.
Maybe it is time to replace the wiki with a real RFC app.
Thoughts ? Do you know of an existing app used by a similar
development community ? If not, what would you build it from ?
Who would be ready to participate ?

In a reversal of what I said before... not yet. A better organised
RFC page would be better. I'd be happy to help sort and organise it.
So then, we're not going to write a new RFC app? Or are you just
talking about tweaking the wiki while the app is under development?

I think it's best to do what we can with the wiki, as it stands. There
are plenty of things we haven't tried. There are macros and such.
