You don't say to where comments should be sent, so I am sending
this to the IETF list.
Um, that is why the note refers to this list.
Sorry, I didn't parse it that way when I first read it, but I see it
does now. Must have
been too little coffee.
Of course, at first glance I thought this message was some sort of
spam selling ION-IONs...

In this ION, there is
HTTP Access to IONs
The IONs can be found at:
http://www.ietf.org/IESG/content/ions
The standard HTTP URL for the current version of this document
would then be "http://www.ietf.org/IESG/content/ions/ion-ion-
store.html", and the stable URL to the dated version would be
"http://www.ietf.org/ IESG/content/ions/dated/ion-ion-
store-2006-07-23.html".
HTTP Access to Drafts
Drafts open for public comments can be downloaded with HTTP at:
http://www.ietf.org/IESG/content/ions/drafts
Both of these URLs point to "naked" directory lists, which only
give the file name and the date. This means of
archiving documents does not scale; I would recommend at least a
small index.html file at those sites, with at least
- the link to the file
- a brief description of each ION
- its date
and probably an IPR statement or link to the Note Well at the bottom.
Possibly, but we want to stay informal (see the last but one sentence
in ion-ion-store).
This would scale up to a few dozen IONs, which would take a
while.
Well, my thought is that the plain directory does scale for a few
dozen,
but not beyond. I agree that at some point an index is needed. I
built an
index manually at http://www.ietf.org/u/ietfchair/opNotes.html for
the pre-existing notes. Is that the sort of thing you mean?
If you want, I could prepare a mock-up of this for the 3 existing
drafts.
What we would need is a tool to update it automatically. And I'm
not sure
we want to do that for an experiment (but if you feel the coding urge,
don't hold back ;-).
Thanks
Brian
