My impression from the regular plenary reports on attendance my impression is
that the number of people involved in the IETF is declining, yet the number
of RFCs being processed is going up.
And the number of conflicts seems to be going up because so many more people
are involved in quite a range of WGs. How does this compare to ten years
ago? I'm not even sure I know what number I want to ask for here.
Jari, can you tell if we have more unique authors from your stats system?
Are we individually producing more documents? Are we collaborating across
communities more often, which is why we have more conflicts?
It seems like it must be that more of the people involved are writing
documents. Did we have more people who were exclusively "tourists" before?
