Right now, anyone who wants to get a tools account can comment on open  
issues and work on the wiki. Having said that, I do see it primarily  
as a tool for the chair and editors, as well as for WG members to keep  
up with what we're doing. I'm not particularly against folks adding to  
what's there, as long as it's in-scope and useful, but discussion and  
decisions need to happen on the list, so I'm not sure what the benefit  
would be. What did you have in mind?

Good question. The 2617 errata still stands at Scott's URI <http://skrb.org/ietf/http_errata.html

scope (yet, at least).

Not IIRC; I've been on the road for a couple of weeks, so have fallen  
a bit behind on the issues list. I'll get it up there ASAP.

My initial feeling is that apps-discuss might be a good place to bring  
that up; while we could publish a document that makes recommendations,  
if it really is bigger than HTTP, it probably deserves a bigger venue.
