Oh, yes indeed, then I am suggesting something different. I thought we
were still on the issue of how the WG pages link (or don't link) to useful
information about the WG's recent work. Something of a cross between
these:

http://tools.ietf.org/wg/imapext/
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/imapext-charter.html

The ietf.org page links to the charter page, and the tools page links to
the charter page, but the charter page doesn't link to much of anything
useful.

And yes, we're probably into general ietf@ietf.org territory on this
conversation, but I suspect I really really don't have the bandwidth for
that...
