The Tools Team will be rolling out some major improvements to datatracker.ietf.org within the next 1-2 months. These improvements should make information about drafts and their status easier to find. The IESG has been testing this interface for some time already, and has found it a big improvement over the current one. However, scripts that do "screen-scraping" (parse information from the HTML pages) are likely to break. Instead of screen-scraping HTML, it would be better to provide the information in machine-readable form; some interfaces are already available, and adding more can be considered. If you want to know more, please join the tools-discuss list, and tell what information your scripts need. Note that this code is developed by volunteers, so bug reports and other comments should be sent to the tools-discuss@ietf.org list, not the IETF secretariat. If you have complaints you'd like to see addressed, or suggestions for improvements, please also consider volunteering to help: an IETF code sprint will be arranged in Anaheim, too. Instructions for joining the tools-discuss list can be found here: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tools-discuss/ _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
