Yes, I agree with this, and I don't think that this proposed WG is or should be about pushing people to adopt Git/Github. However, with that said, if someone came to me and asked me what toolchain I thought they should use to write an I-D, I would advise them to use Github. -Ekr
Practical. But why GITHUB? Why not push for an IETF Git server? Full control. Not dependent on 3rd party and you don't have to wait on Microsoft/GitHub for any advanced integration with other parts of the IETF RFC review/editing/publishing system. Like you indicated, I would think most work is under one editor, so it's really an overkill.
I understand the pressure to use what's comfortable with many today, so I don't like the idea its being used more and more, sort of forcing others to do the same.
PS: We are still using CVS for our products! Very old school, but it does the job and no money wasted on duplicity.
That said, is there an RFC on using GitHub for publishing? -- HLS
