Subject: [Tools-discuss] Fwd: Agenda development support

Passing this along. I ran it by the WG Chairs, and at least one thought it might be useful to him, and more useful if it was clickable from an IETF-anaged server such as the WG Chairs page or the tools page.

For the purpose, it probably has to be rewritten (in Python, and using forms of some kind rather than command line parameters). There is enough that I don't know about the operation of those pages that I'd prefer someone on the tools team did it.

> I have developed a tool for my own amusement, and wonder whether others would find it useful. If appropriate I can get it filed on the tools page or somehow supported in the data tracker. It is based on Henrik's data tracker API, which is to say "not screen scraping". It's in perl.
> 
> Here's the problem I'm trying to solve. I can look at https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/v6ops/documents/, and figure out anything I need to know about my working group's drafts. The information is all there. However, it is somewhat inaccessible, in the sense that it is cluttered with information that, while relevant, isn't particularly useful in agenda analysis, and the sort capability (that used to be there?) isn't there (any more).
> 
> What I'm trying to figure out, when planning an agenda, is:
>  - what working group drafts have been updated since the last meeting
>    (which I will then do a mail search to determine the latest status of)
>  - what individual submissions to the working group have come in
>    (which I will then do a mail search for supporting commentary regarding).
> 
> I may also have other drafts I am specifically interested in; this time, we had an invited talk on a technology that Facebook is experimenting with, that is actually in discussion in nvo3 (draft-herbert-nvo3-ila).
> 
> So therefore, I enter something like
> ietf-agenda-analysis.pl --date 2015-07-22 v6ops draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-01.txt
> or
> ietf-agenda-analysis.pl --date 2015-07-22 v6ops draft-herbert-nvo3-ila
> 
> and get back the following (today). My question is whether other chairs would find this kind of capability useful, and whether I should bring it up with the tools team. If it's useful to you, you're welcome to my script regardless, on an open source basis.
