Finally, the volunteer services. They run extremely well, but like commercial
services, they are not perfect. Generally speaking, our volunteer services tend
to migrate to officially maintained IETF services over time, and that is one
opportunity to address additional needs. But a lot is done by volunteers,
obviously! Hopefully you can participate the Code Sprint event, and possibly
help address any issues within the volunteer servers.
Jari,
When the volunteer services are adequate to the task, all is well. When
they are not, consideration has to be made to bring those services under
the supported umbrella with haste. It's all well and good that this is
in large part a volunteer organization, but if we're going to be taken
seriously on the world stage things have to work, period. "But we're
just a bunch of volunteers!" is not only not an adequate excuse, it's a
serious negative in that space.
That said, I'm speaking generally; without any specific team, function,
etc. in mind.
