Git/github could use some adaption to make it work better for IETF.
I sent in some suggestions back in January. Does anyone think GitHub is
perfect for IETF use already?

Subject: RE: Old directions in social media.

I'd like to see the IETF LLC fund some development of enterprise github.ietf.org to make it work better.
Just off the top ...
An enterprise license so it could be customized.
Fix the default GFM so it could easily be used to produce xml2rfcv3 With custom diff appropriate.
Default actions for building PDF, HTML, text views Tie in with DataTracker and appropriate authentication....
Integrate with email and wg "decisions"
Fix the bugs in GitHub "discussions" <-> Issues Integration with meeting tools (agendas, minutes) Default "Teams" & roles appropriate for WG work rather than software development Tutorials & written guides for using Git for IETF work  Regular summaries and insights appropriate for document production Some way to subscribe to summaries of actions and topics without watching every action on the repo (maybe a 'significant change' flag that the PR has and must be approved)
