Spec prod in the IETF

Specification Production in the IETF

The RFC Editor accepts documents for submission as Internet-Drafts or RFCs
as ASCII text, Postscript, or NROFF (at least rumoured). The format is
described in: 
  ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2223.txt
  
Because of the exacting format requirements, many tools are available for
production:
  http://www.ietf.org/ID-nits.html
(see "Templates for Internet Drafts")

Marshall Rose's TCL tools for XML production of I-Ds and RFCs are at:
  http://xml.resource.org/
(they're apparently having DNS problems; if you can't get in, try
this:)
  http://204.62.247.75/
  
This includes a directory of ready-to-include references (rfc's).

There has been a bit of discussion about tools for tracking issues,
comments, and changes, but nothing concrete.


[This is off the top of my head; if anyone wants more detail, just
yell]
