Re: Where to find IETF recommendations?

2011-03-01 05:01:47
This is a very good question.

I've considered setting up a wiki page or similar to serve this purpose for the 
HTTP family of specifications. However, it's not clear what authority it would 
have, and it's not clear whether people would be able to readily find it.

If we can find a way to do this, and to cut through the clutter of all of the 
other information, it would be very helpful IMO. I'm not sure where it would 
start, though.

Cheers,

My question is... how is this advice expected to trickle out into actual
use? There are more than 6000 RFCs, and they don't seem to be organized
in a useful way that I can find.

In practice, you have to be "up on the field", to be part of the ongoing 
discussions.  Other standards organizations are better organized about 
publishing their recommendations, but always, in practice, you have to be 
aware of what is being done by the systems you need to interoperate with.
