A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.

List address: datatracker-rqmts@ietf.org
Archive: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/datatracker-rqmts
To subscribe: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/datatracker-rqmts/

Description: The IAOC is investigating a set of requirements for
extending the IETF Datatracker to give individual IETF community members,
including the IETF leadership, easy methods for tracking the progress of
the Internet-Drafts of interest to them. This list is for the discussion

First off, greetings. Some of you have contacted me off-list, and I'm hoping all of those people are now on-list so we can get the discussion happening here.

One thing that was pointed out to me was that the initial draft didn't include a description of what the expected interaction that a user of the extended Datatracker would be. I propose the following, but am completely open to suggestions for other models of interaction.

=====

When a user wants to follow a group of drafts, he or she goes to the Datatracker and creates a new list. The requirements for lists are given in Section 2.1. After a list is created, the user has three ways that he or she might see when drafts in the list are updated:

- By going to the Datatracker page for the list (see Section 2.3)

- By subscribing to the Atom feed for the list (see Section 2.2.2) in a feed reader that automatically fetches updates

- By subscribing to the mail stream for the list (see Section 2.2.3) and reading the stream in their mail reader

=====

Should I be saying more here, and if so, what?
