[Gendispatch] Archival Dysfunction (was: Re: New Version Notification for draft-bonica-gendispatch-exp-00.txt)

[Ron Bonica <[e-mail]>]

Gentlefolk,

Let me try to summarize the conversation to date.

We have some non-foundational but useful information. A few of these topics have been mentioned on this thread.  We could publish these as RFCs, but we are reluctant to do so. Possible reasons for this reluctance are:


  *
The RFC Series will grow too large
  *
The effort required to publish an RFC is too great
  *
The RFC series is reserved for foundational works

All of these might be valid objections. Maybe a wiki would be helpful?

 But sadly, we can't establish a wiki because we cannot establish procedures for its moderation and maintenance. Something in our collective DNA prevents us from doing this.

So we are left with the following options:


  *
Publish non-foundational information in the RFC series (a suboptimal solution)
  *
Discard non-foundational information (a worse solution)

                                                                                          Ron
