The IAOC intends to seek bids for a project to revamp the RFC Editor Website
and desires community
input on a draft Statement of Work. The SOW is located here:
<http://iaoc.ietf.org/rfps.html>.
The community comment period ends 21 September 2014. The IAOC will consider
all comments
received during this period.
Overview
The website revamp project will update the public-facing website for the RFC
Editor
(http://www.rfc-editor.org), providing a "front door" to the RFC Series and a
more easily maintained
presence to the community. The RFC Editor website needs provide an easy and
accessible interface
to the RFC Series.
In addition to migrating the static content, the various PHP scripts used on
the existing site need
to be migrated into the WordPress framework. Internally, the static content
will be held in a content
management system (again, WordPress), which aids in maintaining the content and
creating a
cohesive site. The scripts that create dynamic content will be reorganized,
which makes the site
more secure and portable for the long term. There will be an internal cleanup
that removes
deprecated content from the site. This work has already started within the RFC
Production Center.
All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary and may
be used in the
development of the SOW.
Thanks for your continuing advice and support.
