[Ietf-and-github] Tracking drafts

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

One of the things I do in order to find out about work outside of WGs I 
am involved in is that I read the internet-draft announcements.

Mostly, I am happy to get updates there when new versions of drafts are 
sufficiently stable to be worth checking.  So intermediate minor updates 
only being made to the github is not a problem.

But it struck me that if early versions of drafts are only on github, 
and discussed on the WG list, this makes it much harder for me (and 
others who are trying to track work outside their center of attention) 
to know about the work.

I am not sure what the right answer is.  It seems that it would help if 
the guidelines encouraged people to post I-Ds as early as practical.

Yours,
Joel
