Hello,
I have written a little IETF material scraping tool that I thought could be
useful for other people, too.
Here is the description:
I sometimes have the need to grab the recent available material (slides, drafts
etc.) for an IETF WG or IRTF RG for later offline work, e.g., when jumping on a
plane, train etc.
I hacked a simple shell script that would do that for me: get-ietf-material
# Usage: get-ietf-material <meetingnr> <groupname>
# Example: get-ietf-material 94 icnrg
It tries to fetch slides, agendae, minutes, charter, drafts and stores
everything under <meetingnr>/<groupname>.
Fair warning: There is no meaningful error processing.
It's based on wget and uses time stamping to avoid fetching things multiple
times, so could be run periodically.
Available here:

It's possible that there are better tools available - please let me know if you
aware of anything.
Cheers,
Dirk
