2. Workgroup status pages showing the current status of the drafts belonging to a workgroup: http://tools.ietf.org/wg/

As these are prototypes, they are not expected to be perfect or complete, but they are expected to be useful to the community as-is, and comments on functionality, missing features and bugs are welcome!
Comments will be taken as input to specification of full-fledged versions of similar tools, and may also be fed back into the prototypes.
I think we need at least one more status state. In my working group we encourage people to write up their ideas as discussion platform. After 2-5 ideas are presented and discussed they morph into one final product. Frequently the first and second versions of these drafts are draft-<editor>-<wg> (our suggested notation) before making it to draft-ietf-<wg>.
The status: "Expired" to me means the draft has been dropped but that is frequently not accurate. I would like to be able to indicate that a draft has been "Replaced by" another draft.
Example: on DNSEXT page in the Expired category are drafts:
draft-ietf-dnsext-parent-stores-zone-keys
draft-ietf-dnsext-parent-sig
These two[1] drafts motivated and gave way to
draft-ietf-dnsext-delegation-signer RFC 3658From historical perspective I would like to somehow acknowledge the people that contributed to the process and how they did that.
I realize this is a larger issue than just the tool, as the back end database does not have this information.

[1] At least one of these draft was had a draft-<editor> draft
before it became a WG draft.
