Henrik, There seems to be a built-in assumption here that someone will write a new tool for this. Most conferences and journals nowadays use an automated submission system, I've heard there are 4 different systems used by various conferences. One of them I've used extensively is EDAS (http://edas.info/doc/) which was developed by Henning Schulzrinne. I'd be curious to know why something like that won't work for IETF? I imagine it might save IETF lots of time (and potentially money if the intent was to contract out the production of the tool), even if IETF had to change its procedures slightly. Has there been any attempt to compare the requirements in this draft to existing systems to see if IETF might get by with something that is already out there? jak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henrik Levkowetz" <henrik@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <wgchairs@xxxxxxxx>; <ietf@xxxxxxxx> Cc: <tools-discuss@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 13, 2004 5:08 AM Subject: I-D submission tool draft > Hi, > > The tools team has been working on requirements for a tool > to automate submissions of internet-drafts, to replace the > current mail submission through the secretariat as primary > submission mode. > > We've put together a -00 version of a draft containing the > requirements, and would very much like your input on this. > > A URL for this Internet-Draft is: > http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-00.txt > > We expect to issue a -01 draft in 1 (one) week, so your > feedback should be in Friday, Sep. 18th, at the latest, in > order to be considered. > > > Thanks, > > Henrik > > > _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
