Hi Brian,
If an AD modifies their DISCUSS text, or moves a DISCUSS to a COMMENT,
all that is in the tracker.
Yes. I agree. *If*.
Some ADs are very good about this. (Shall I name names? ;-)
But some are less good.
Often a Discuss is just cleared.
What isn't there is the email trail.
Are you suggesting we should consider capturing all relevant email
threads in the tracker?
Summary is OK in the I-D tracker.
I feel that the email thread would be good to have on a WG mailing list. I
don't feel that the email folders on my laptop is the best place to archive
these discussions.
Having some experience of RT which does exactly that, I frankly doubt
the value except for archaeologists. But I suppose it could be done,
e.g. by opening an RT ticket for each thread and linking it into the
I-D tracker.
Too heavy? Too much process?
Why not simply:
- copy all Comments and Discusses to the WG mailing list
- hold all discussions on the WG mailing list until resolution
- update the Discuss or Comment in the tracker to show the
resolution
