Right. We all know from the beginning that a wiki is better than nothing but, when the number of
users/documents grows, it becomes very hard to keep the information up-to-date.
Another problem is that documents and their comments are not stored together. The RFC remains, which
is fine, but the comments fly away, except if the author manually copies them from the list. IMHO,
this is the main drawback of the current system: when I read an RFC, I also want to read the
comments because they're an integral part of the RFC life. It does not mean that they should
not be mirrored to the mailing list, but it is essential to store them with the RFC.
Maybe it is time to replace the wiki with a real RFC app. Thoughts ? Do you know of an existing app
used by a similar development community ? If not, what would you build it from ? Who would be ready
to participate ?
