Yes, I was going to do that (if people liked the idea) and I would have 
the WG names in the slides.

Yes, exactly. httpbis: "Almost all our documents, using pull requests 
liberally." dnsop: "A few documents, and people still seem to want to 
bring issues up on the list but like tracking them as GitHub issues".

Yes. I want people to add questions to Mark's document, and experiences 
to yours. I think the question of "should this be an RFC" can be done 
better on this list after the meeting because we only have an hour. (I 
do note that we are the last meeting on Monday, so some folks might want 
to continue the conversations over deep-dish pizza...)

Yes, definitely. One thing that came up in conversation was "should the 
GitHub page for a document be listed on the Datatracker"?
