Re: [IAOC] xml2rfc and legal services RFPs

2011-02-22 09:54:18

The Statement of Work in the xml2rfc RFP was reviewed and modified
by the people on the tool-development list.  [...]

There was an active discussion that resulted in many changes from
what was first proposed.  While this wasn't the whole community I
think it a good representation of the people who are interested in
the xml2rfc tool.

Yeah, and the features list for the next version of MS Word will be
decided by polling the MS Word developers.

You need to poll the *users* of the tool, not the *developers* of the
tool, to find out what is needed.

The xml2rfc tool was declared critical to the IETF because of the use by the 
RFC Production Center.  The volunteers that stepped forward to maintain the 
code when Marshall Rose declared that he was finished recommended the rewrite.  
Therefore, the things that the enhancements proposed by the RFC Production 
Center have priority, but the entire community will benefit from a tools that 
is easier to maintain and enhance.
