Upcoming Datatracker User Interface Changes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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@xxxxxxxx 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.
