That's fine.
Anyone want to be the master editor for the errata list?
It has a revision history, the Council could revert nonsense^Wless
useful modifications. Anybody who finds an uncontroversional error
should be able to add it, with some minimal protocol:
- Propose it here and/or the devel list
- Wait some time for nits and objections (say two weeks)
- Add it if there's "rough consensus"
- The Council can sanction "official" errata revisions
- The Council can sanction controversional errata (and add them)
With that approach two pages are probably better, one working
page, and the last approved (by the Council) page. The last
point of this procedure could then be:
- The Council can revert the working page to an approved page.
No, I don't want the page to be writable by everyone. There should be a
master editor who collects erratum proposals from spf-discuss (and perhaps
spf-devel) and edits them into a "not yet sanctioned" section of said
page. The council would then decide on the collected errata, and then
either the master editor or someone from the council would move the
sanctioned errata to an "officially sanctioned" section on the same page.
Rejected errata would be moved to a "rejected errata" section, or perhaps
to a FAQ page.
The rationale for this procedure is that we do need an intelligent filter
_before_ the council gets to decide on stuff. Also, having a single
person or a very limited number of persons edit a page guarantees
coherence. The RFC (and errata) authoring process is not something I
would like to open up to the world, Wikipedia-style.
Frank, would you be willing to act as a master editor for the RFC 4408
errata?
