Maybe one thing that could be done is to have a set of things that
newbies can do to participate that are likely to be taken very

ID with a fine tooth comb for nits, bad grammar, unclear text, etc and
especially from fresh eyes from the perspective of a potential
implementer, for example. Everybody would win in that situation. Their
naivety is a huge benefit.

This is what I tried when I first came over from NANOG after reading
'ops folks come on over to IETF' emails there. Not everyone wants
that. I was told 'that's what the RFC editor is for. Do you have any
valuable input?' Paraphrasing... Since then I have been a lurker
just because I want to learn.
Yeah, that's a problem. That shouldn't be controversial. Ever. Chairs
should shut down prickly authors post haste.
